Is vegan yogurt suitable for babies?
Vegan yogurt is a great food to try on your vegan BLW journey. It’s made from plant-based ingredients like soy, almonds, or coconut and when fortified is a good source of protein, calcium, and vitamins, including B12 and Vitamin D. Protein is important for muscle development and repair, calcium for strong bones and proper nerve and muscle function, and vitamins for overall health and strong bones. When choosing vegan yogurt, select a brand that is fortified with vitamins and minerals and choose plain varieties without added sugars. In moderation, vegan yogurt can be a nutritionally beneficial option for babies as part of a balanced and varied diet. Just be sure to choose the right type and always incorporate it in moderation.
