Yogurt types for baby

[Anonymous]

I make my own with whole milk. We all eat it. Baby eats it plain or with some fruit purée mixed in.

I looked at the YoBaby products and was shocked at the amount of sugar in them. I think it was about 24 grams per serving! They are sickeningly sweet. It's unfortunate that those are about the only brands that have flavored whole milk yogurts. I'd stick with plain yogurt and mix in some fruit if needed.

I give mine YoBaby. They're fine. Good lord.

Well, then you might as well feed them a Magnum mini ice cream bar. Same or less amount of sugar.

Relax killer, a banana has 14 g of sugar in it.

Big difference btwn added sugars and naturally occuring sugars in fruit. Jeez why do you think we have an obesity epidemic in this country?? Added sugar in everything!

+1. Plus, 14g is almost 50% less than 24g. And which 6mo eats a whole banana?

Stonyfield plain has 6g. Someone send a link to the 24g one, please.

Yes. Stonyfield has wayyy too much sugar in their yogurt products. And if you're adding fruit puree to that, you're increasing it even more.

We buy only Greek yogurt...Fage 0% for us olds, Dannon Oikos full fat (coconut, banana cream) for the kid. I'm not wedded to Dannon, but it's really hard to find full fat Greek yogurt anywhere.

Yes, thanks to people like you who buy Fage 0% in a mistaken belief that fat makes you fat or is bad for you. I really hate that I can't get the full-fat version anywhere anymore. Fortunately, TJ's still has full fat Greek yogurt. I often make a special trip to TJ's just for that.

Well, no. I am not PP I try to get 30% of my calories from fat and 30% of my calories from protein. And I eat a lot, so I need about 160 grams n a day.

of protei Fat free greek yogurt has 24 grams of protein per 120 calories. I don't think I could choke down enough full fat greek yogurt to get 24 grams of protein in one sitting. I get lots of fat from oils, eggs, avocados, nuts, fish, meat, etc. We do full fat cheese, milk, etc. I like to mix my nonfat greek yogurt with ricotta cheese and nuts. So no, not everyone who eats fat free greek yogurt is a fat-phobic idiot.

My point is, try to not be so simple-minded. People have different reasons for eating different foods.

We buy the yobaby. My almost a year old twins share one at breakfast if we are lucky. They like yogurt but are not hungry for breakfast and we don't offer it other times of day.

We started with full fat fage yogurt but had to go to Whole Foods for it and buy a large container which meant I ended up eating and cooking with it more than I needed to.

My kids are very small and not big eaters. I just don't worry too much about some added sugars right now so long as they are actually eating. (We offer homemade pudding for extra dairy and eggs too ... maybe I'm the wrong person to weight -- tee hee -- in).

Fair enough. But you will have a hard time disputing that the limited availability of full-fat Greek (or, for that matter, regular) yogurt is due to a widespread idea, especially in this country, that low-fat is better, not due to most people counting grams of protein in their diet. That was my point, and it still holds even if not for your individual case. My apologies for making a wrong assumption about you, Anonymous.

True, but it's not necessarily all added sugar. Some of the sugar comes from the milk (lactose) and some of the sugar comes from the fruit (fructose). I'm not saying it's better than giving plain, but I am saying it's not equivalent to giving your kid an ice cream bar. That is just ridiculous.

And I apologize to you, Anonymous, for contributing to the relative scarcity of full fat greek yogurt.

(But I think a lot of people buy greek yogurt because it's high protein, not because it's low fat. And full fat greek yogurt is delicious, but it's not a high protein food (as a percentage of total calories).)

That being said, I think that people are total fools about fat, and I don't know what people are eating. No carbs, no fat. Just protein and alcohol, it seems like? To fuel their marathon bouts of stairclimbing and elliptical use, or TV watching?

I think the low-fat fad is on the way out, thankfully. That was a colossal failure.

This is what we used. DS didn't like it plain, but I added in fruit purees. His favorite was plain yogurt, unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon.

Some of the sugar in an ice cream bar also comes from lactose.

And if PP thinks fructose, without the fiber in whole fruit, is better for your than sugar, she needs to do more research. There really isn't that much difference between sugared yogurt and an ice cream bar with an equivalent amount of sugar.

Total left field here, but you might consider goats milk yogurt before cows milk yogurt if you're at all concerned about cows milk proteins. Humans are generally better adapted to consume goats milk and in many parts of the world goats milk is revered for medicinal properties. That said, it can have a strong smell.

I have no anecdotes about feeding it to kids, we're not yet at solids.

Quick online search of YoBaby nutrition information: It has 12-13 grams of sugar for a 4 oz. container.

Still, almost the same as a Magnum mini Gold, which has 14g.
