Introducing yogurt to your baby around 6-8 months of age is a good idea. Yogurt is one of the simplest foods for new eaters as it’s easy to digest and it has a texture that your baby will be comfortable with. This simple food is actually a powerpack of nutrients like iron, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, protein, carbohydrate, and vitamins (vitamin B-12, B-6, B-2 E, K, C, A, and D).
Some of the benefits of including yogurt in your baby’s daily diet include:
Lactic acid and other micronutrients help build your immunity, help eliminate pathogens and bacteria from the gut, improve the digestion process, keep away gastric problems, and support overall gut health.
Yogurt when given to babies during diarrhea helps faster recovery.
Calcium, magnesium, zinc, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, vitamins, and minerals in yogurt aid stronger bones and teeth, and also improve overall health.
Yogurt or buttermilk during summers is a great option to fight heat and keep your baby hydrated.
Yogurt is also known to treat urinary tract infections and supports a baby’s recovery from jaundice.
So next time, do not forget to include this magic food in your baby’s diet !! #benefitsofyogurt #bestbabyfood #seemasays
