Yogurt is not only delicious, but also very nutritious, so many parents want their babies to drink some yogurt in moderation. But sometimes it is not very clear what age babies are suitable for drinking yogurt. And yogurt comes in bottled yogurt as well as homemade yogurt. So what kind of yogurt can a one and a half year old baby drink?
The production process of yogurt mainly involves fermenting pure milk to give the dairy product a sweet and sour taste. It not only retains the complete nutritional components of fresh milk, but also contains lactic acid bacteria that can produce more nutrients and vitamins needed by the human body. And yogurt contains more calcium and phosphorus substances, which are easily absorbed by the human body.
However, yogurt is a good nutritious and healthy beverage for adults. But if yogurt is fed to babies, although the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can produce certain antibiotic substances that can hinder the growth of certain pathogenic bacteria in the intestines, it will also destroy the newly established normal bacterial growth in the delicate gastrointestinal tract of babies, which will inevitably affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients by the baby's gastrointestinal tract.
Moreover, especially for babies with weaker constitutions, consuming yogurt may lead to enteritis. Therefore, it is not recommended for babies around one year old to drink any type of yogurt, whether homemade or purchased.
