Have you read the ingredients in it????

Milk, sugar, fruit, and live active cultures. How is that crap unless you are talking about added sugar?

Bingo! Don't give your kids products that have sugar listed as one of the first two ingredients! It's junk. Give them plain yogurt and get them used to the taste. America is so doomed when this is the food targeted to babies and children.

Sorry, I disagree. Sugar in moderation and as part of a varied diet is not evil.

When it is the second ingredient, it is not in moderation. Avoid. And please do some reading. Processed foods are very bad for kids. For the poster who was worried about the full fat--FAT is not the issue. Full fat milk is fine. Avoid added sugar. I don't think this is fringe thinking.

OMG - quit lecturing her like your kids have no weird or unhealthy food habits...

My kids also adore yogurt (it doesn't matter what kind) - I limit it to 1 cup/tube per day and sometimes it's dessert. "You want yogurt?" -- Gotta eat that broccoli first (I keep portions of 'must eat' doable - easily). With our 2 yo we have had a few tantrums, he calms down eventually, eats his real meal and then gets his prize. He was 'born hating peas' and we've made major progress! Sure he still hands me occasional half chewed veggies but we are getting there. Be ready for the challenge - you can do it.

Sorry if I repeated something someone else said

OOH - PP again,
One more thing, if your 5 yo might be into 'baby foods' why not puree up some good stuff? I know our older child went through a baby food phase when our youngest was born and started eating. I just pureed some extra while I was making the baby's food He loved it!

I'm pretty against processed foods and moderating 'the yummy stuff' - but I am not 100% anti...I would stress out every time we left the house if I were. After soccer games I do not want to be the mom who won't let he kid have fruit snacks

I agree. There are some very extreme health nuts on here.
Now, marketing froot loops to children that contain food dyes that are banned in other countries -- yes, I would agree that is absolutely appalling, but gimme a break about the yogurt. Everything in moderation.

So 57% of the calories in yo baby is sugar and in your view 57% is moderation.

57% of one's diet, no. 57% of one item in one's diet? Please!

Seriously. I feed my kid a varied diet. not 100% yogurt.

And you are doing the math wrong anyway. It's 4 calories per gram of sugar. 48 calories from carbs. 36 from fat. 16 from protein. Great calcium, Vitamin D, and fats and proteins your baby needs. It's not like giving them a lollipop.

Once they get the taste of sugar it can make it hard to get them to eat other foods- like veggies. The food industry will reduce fats and add sugar and say its healthy. The sugar is easily converts to body fat.

I think some of the sugar is lactose, no? the sugar naturally present in milk? If the plain is 6 grams with no added sugar, I'd assume that means the kind with 12 grams of sugar actually has 6 grams of added sugar, which is 2 tsp of added sugar (or 30 calories worth), correct?

It is hard to tell how much added sugar many dairy products have for this reason.

And probably not even 6 grams of added sugar. Aside from the milk sugar, there will be some natural fruit sugar in any of the yogurts with fruit. So yes, it is a lot of sugar, but not a lot of added sugar.

OP has a kid who, apparently, subsists exclusively on milk and Yobaby yogurt, and you all are discussing how much sugar is in Yobaby yogurt?

Don't be so condescending. You aren't showing any great knowledge about what constitutes a healthy diet. Because you aren't supposed to look at one discrete food item to see whether any particular ingredient is in moderation, but instead as part of the total of the daily, even weekly intake.

1 year old babies need 95 carbs a day. I don't think 12 in a baby yogurt, half of which are from natural milk sugars, is going to kill anyone.

OP, who hasn't been back by the way, has much bigger diet problems than the sugar content of yogurt if her kid is truly living off a 100% dairy diet.
