Allergen note
Greek yogurt contains common allergens like cow's milk; introduce a small amount separately and watch for reactions, as dairy can be allergenic.
How to serve
For infants 6+ months, mix 1-2 tablespoons of plain, full-fat Greek yogurt with pureed fruit; for toddlers, offer 1/4 cup as a snack or with soft foods for self-feeding.
Preparation
Always use pasteurized, full-fat Greek yogurt; for younger infants, mix with pureed fruits or vegetables to achieve a smoother, easier-to-swallow texture.
Texture and choking risk
Greek yogurt is low risk due to its soft texture, but to minimize any hazard, serve it in small, manageable spoonfuls and always supervise your child during meals.
Starting ages are typical guidance for healthy, full-term babies who show signs of readiness. Your paediatrician may advise differently, especially where there is a family history of allergy.
Track first tastes and reactions
Log when your child first tries greek style yogurt, note any reaction and see it in the allergen tracker.
