Nutrition note

Yogurt, like other fermented foods, includes probiotics that may increase "friendly" gut flora and have a number of positive health effects. Additionally, it is a wonderful source of fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and iron. In addition, yogurt is a fantastic source of lipids, carbs, and protein. Just be sure to give your infant yogurt made with whole, full-fat milk. At this age, babies require a lot of fat for the development of their immunological, neurological, and immune systems, as well as their brain, stomach, and cell structure. Especially for infants, whose microbiome (the friendly bacteria that live in the digestive tract) rapidly develops in the first few years of life, probiotic cultures that transform milk into yogurt can be quite beneficial.
