Store-bought baby fruit yogurt are filled with so much sugar that i personally cannot even put them in my mouth, i’m naturally not a sweet tooth though. I have a few brands that i buy their yogurts when i feel like buying them, especially for when outside the house. Remember that yogurt is very good and beneficial as a first food for babies as they need the fat, and the ones with lives cultures are very good for their stomach
I prefer mixing the plain natural yogurt with fruits for the kids or just plain honey (for one year and above) and they taste so good and filled with better nutrition than those sugar and sweetener-laden ones. It is quite easy once you have your yogurt and fruits at home.
Don’t allow the name to deceive you. You can also give your bigger children this fruit yogurt and as well add honey. For the more adventurous ones, cut the fruits into tiny bits for them to chew on…very tasty and won’t leave you asking what is yogurt because it isn’t full of questionable sugar.

Yesss! Yoghurt! My baby loved it. The unsweetened yoghurt.
However the label indicated it’s partially skimmed.
I don’t know if with that , my baby is getting the required fat.
I gave her plainly. Then also mixed with an avocado puree another time .
I love yoghurt too and guess she is taking after her mummy ??…
I don’t like sugary things either. And I am really making sure to train her in that light as well.
Thanks mummy’s yum.
PS=: A question. I tried using our blender once to make a carrot puree for her and it wasn’t finely blended. Could it be cos it’s a big blender ? Are there blenders specific for baby foods or can any blender serve ?
Dhemmy, check if you can see whole one for her really cos she needs the fat unlike us that look for skimmed or fat free (lol). For the carrots, i guess the quantity was too small for the big blender to make into a puree. Try getting a hand blender…thats what i use.
Oh k.
Will Do.
Thanks a whole lot
Great job Mama!I love ur blog,make life super easy. Pls whr can I get good quality plain yoghurt in Lagos.Thanks
Thanks so much Kiki. I am not in Lagos but i’m sure shoprite, Ebeano and other big supermarkets will have it.
Please where can I get d yogurt in Abuja?
Mummy Ono, I don’t know Abuja that well but the big supermarkets and malls should have natural plain yogurt.
Please do I have to blend d yogurt too?
Hello Joy, sure you can or you can just whip together well with a spoon.
Thanks, please my baby is four months and two weeks can I give her this preparation.
Joy, 6 months is the recommended age to start giving your baby anything other than breast or formula milk. Some do start at 4 months, but its up to you to know if your child is ready.
Please where can I get plain natural yogurt in enugu?.
Joy, i am not sure but big supermarkets, shoprite may have it.
Please Ma can you recommend or name plan yoghurt I can give my 6months old baby? Thanks alot
Hi Karen, i can’t because you may not find the one i know where you are. Just look at the label for plain or unsweetened yogurt instead of the flavoured ones.
Pls is farm fresh yogurt safe for my 11 months baby
Debbie, if it is plain natural yogurt, then it should be fine.
what can of yoghurt can I give my 1year 4 month baby
Margaret, plain natural yogurt…that’s without any flavour or sweeteners in it.
How did I not know this blog exists. WOW! I love this. Thanks so much for the recipes, God bless you.
I make homemade yogurt for my 2 year old son, but it’s made from a popular brand of powdered milk. Can I still give this to my 8 months old regardless of the fact that the milk used to make it is not infant formula?
Looking forward to your response. Thank you
Thank you so much Jumebi. You can use normal milk for cooking for babies but not as a drink. I don’t know how homemade yogurt is made but if it involves heating the milk up, then it is very ok.
I make coconut milk yoghurt and blended it with mango puree and my son loved it. Thanks for this beautiful blog.
You are very welcome Grace
This is indeed a great one, God bless you greatly. After making all these , my baby must add some flesh o By fire by force!!!
Trying out all the recipes ASAP and thanks i’ve started with the rice cereal and he enjoys it.
Great Cynthia and thank you so much
I really love this, thank you for being open and sincere, we need this as new mom’s, you are helping, God bless, pls I want to try this out but I’ve never given baby fruit puree, can u list the best I can try? then the plain yogurt, how can I get?
Thank you Victoria. It is always best to try varieties one at a time. Banana, apple, avocado, carrot are generally the best to start with.
