Recipe FAQs
Yes! Once your baby is ready for solids (typically around 6 months), you can offer this yogurt. If introducing cow's milk for the first time, start with small amounts as it's a common allergen. For babies, full-fat yogurt is a good choice. If adding vanilla, opt for an alcohol- and sugar-free version or skip it altogether.

how long can it stay for in the fridge if I batch make?
Amy
Hi Caroline, I guess it depends on the shelf life of the yogurt you use. Make sure the fruit is chilled before adding and refrigerate straight away.
(If making for a baby I'd refrigerate for up to 48 hours. Also, never feed your baby directly from the original storage container and then restore it. Saliva and other bacteria can contaminate the food if you do so.)

So much nicer and better for you than “kids” yogurt. Do you have any other flavors?
