When babies are ready for solids, yogurt is often one of the first foods parents reach for and with good reason. It’s smooth, mild, and full of natural goodness. The live bacterial cultures help make it easier to digest than milk, and its balance of calcium, protein, and healthy fats supports tiny bodies as they grow.
Because yogurt is naturally fermented, much of the lactose is already broken down. That means it’s kinder on new digestive systems and a nice bridge between milk and solid foods.
Healthy fats are a big part of early brain and nervous system development, and whole milk yogurt is one of the simplest ways to include them. It gives your baby the energy and nourishment they need without additives or extra ingredients. At Tree Island, we use non-homogenized whole milk from grass-fed cows on small family farms, resulting in a yogurt that’s naturally creamy, not overly tangy, and made without added sugar.
For us, working with small family farms also means knowing exactly where every batch of milk comes from. It’s local, fresh, and handled with the same care we’d want for our own families. Our kids are even the taste testers of the yogurts we make.
- Plain and Unsweetened: Babies don’t need added sugar. They’re naturally curious about new flavours.
- Made with Whole Milk: The natural fats support healthy growth and brain development.
- Short on Ingredients: Just milk and live cultures, that’s all you really need.
As your baby grows, you can mix in puréed fruit like banana, apple, or pear for a bit of variety.
You don’t need a recipe, just a spoon and a little curiosity. Start small and let your baby explore the texture and taste. A few ideas could include:
- Later in baby months, use yogurt in smoothies or as a base for dips.
- Offer a few spoonfuls of plain yogurt on its own.
- Mix it with mashed avocado or pear for a simple meal.
- Stir into oatmeal or cereal to make it creamy.
Every baby is different, so it’s always best to introduce new foods slowly and watch for reactions, especially if dairy is new.
