I gave my girl who is 8 months the freeze dried yogurt from gerber, but not even 10 mins ago we shared a yo baby yogurt cup...mmmmm blueberry ...
Ive been giving her yogurt for about 3 weeks..not everyday...She just turned 8 months......so she was probably 7.5 when i gave her the first bite

At my 6-month the ped. ok'd all solids except honey and nut butters. Canaan has yogurt almost every AM and loves it-he started solids early though (which I tried to avoid) because he was so hungry he basically spent all of his awake time nursing. He also tolerates different foods well and hasn't had any reactions so far.

That really surprises me that a ped ok'd everything except honey and nut butters at 6 months old. There are MANY foods that have a high and very serious allergy risk.

The list I provided has the ages listed for when you should introduce the allergenic foods.

My son is 11 months and I just started giving him yogurt a couple of weeks ago. I get the "Yo, Baby" organic yogurt and he loves it!

I think its 12mths but i think she'd be fine as long as its not hurting/bothering her and she doesn't have any bad reactions just make sure theres no huge chunks of fruit. stonyfeild is a good baby yogurt.

I gave my DD some Minigo yogurt at about 6 months old. They had a sample at Costco and I let her try some. No reactions, and she's had it a couple times since then. She has had no bad reactions to any food and we don't give it to her every day (not happy about the sugar in it) but it's a treat once in a while.
