Yogurt

I just bought some Yo Baby for my 8 month old.
Where do I fit it in to her feeding sched, and how much do I give her?

Normally she has:

7am 6 oz bottle
10am 2 oz cereal 3 oz fruit
1pm 6 oz bottle
3pm 4 oz fruit or veggile
4pm 6 oz bottle
7pm 2 or 3 oz chicken w/ 2 or 3 oz veggie
830 pm bottle

Re: Yogurt

I'd do it around the time you give her fruits or veggies... around 3PM

SOmetimes DS gets yogurt for breakfast with a pancake and then for lunch he'll get veggies.
Other times I'll do fruit and a pancake or puffs for breakfast and do yogurt for lunch then a meat and veggie for dinner

Re: Yogurt

I started DD on yogurt around 8.5 months. I give it to at lunch, usually instead of whatever protein I would have given her, but she really doesn't like any of the proteins yet.

I wouldn't replace the cereal with yogurt since they are different food groups. I would just give her some in the morning or for lunch in addition to whatever else you are giving her.

Re: Yogurt

Ds gets it after his dinner. He usually eats the whole container, but he is 11 months. We started yogurt at 9 months and I think he had half a container every other day with his lunch or his dinner.

Re: Yogurt

I give the yogurt as her lunch. Sometimes I'll give her 1oz of a fruit too if she still seems hungry. She eats the whole container.

Thanks ladies!

I think I am going to change around are sched to as follows:

7am 2tbsp cereal 3 tbsn fruit
8am 6oz bottle

11am 4 oz veggie or fruit
12pm 6oz bottle

3pm yogurt (however much she wants)
4pm 6oz bottle

7pm chicken & veggie
8/830 pm 6 oz bottle


This may work better and she may even drop a bottle who knows

Re: Yogurt

I usually give my DS (6.5 mos old) yogurt or fruit at lunch time. So his schedule ends up something like this:
6am BF 5-6oz
830 2-3tbsp oatmeal and 2.5oz fruit
11am offer 6 oz but he drinks about 4 :/
12pm lunch of yogurt or fruit
230pm 5-6 oz
530 2-3 tbsp oatmeal and 2.5 oz veggie
730 bottle (5oz) and bed

My guy doesn't love to drink his milk though so I've tried to be more aggressive with foods.

thanks for sharing your schedule, it's helpful to compare

Re: Yogurt

I give cereal with a fruit or sweet veggie for lunch as of right now. Our schedule is similar to yours. DS is 7.5 mos and 19.5 lbs.

8am - 7 oz bottle
9am - 3 tbsp oatmeal with 2 oz fruit
12 noon - 7 oz bottle
1pm - 4 oz yogurt with 2 oz fruit
4pm - 7 oz bottle
5:30pm - 2 oz meat, 2 oz veggie
8am - 7 oz bottle

I would love to drop a bottle, but I'm not quite sure how to work out that schedule yet!
