YoBaby has 12 grams, including what's in the milk, so it's not 12 added grams. The ones with fruit on the bottom usually have a lot more sugar. It's like pie filling in yogurt. And delicious </p> <p>Even Dr. Sears recommends the Stonyfield yogurt because of its live cultures. </p> <p>also sharing: <a href="http://www.raisehealthyeaters.com/2010/08/8-of-the-best-yogurts-for-kids/" rel="nofollow">http://www.raisehealthyeaters.com/2010/08/8-of-the-best-yogurts-for-kids/</a></p> <p>Just in case anyone else is interested!</p> <p>I say all this while eating some key lime oikos greek yogurt that i stuck in the freezer earlier :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466751 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 14:05:51 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1466751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use generic/store brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466656 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:48:31 +0000 mrskc 1466656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He won't touch plain Greek yogurt heck I can't eat that stuff myself. He'll only eat yogurt of it comes out of a tube. So far I've tried the chobani yogurt tubes and he likes those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466585 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:28:00 +0000 mrsjyw 1466585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466583 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:27:44 +0000 sunny 1466583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: we did coconut yogurt due to LO's cows milk sensitivity. Yes it doesn't have that much protein but we tried to make it up in other ways. </p> <p>Now we use Trader Joes full fat yogurts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466342 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 12:15:02 +0000 Adira 1466342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Xander does too, but he's currently still just eating purees and I'm worried about him getting enough when he starts eating table food, so trying to find other options for him, like yogurt! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466341 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 12:14:43 +0000 pinkcupcake 1466341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to feed her YoBaby and then the Trader Joe's whole milk yogurts in the 4oz cups bc they had the most fat and calories, and she needed to gain weight. Now she will only eat Chobani (the 0% one). </p> <p>@mrsjyw: I appreciated your earlier comments. Lately I've been avoiding the feeding posts because some of the posts can come across quite judgmental. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466336 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 12:12:46 +0000 Andrea 1466336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: DD gets her protein from meat, beans, and avocado! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466322 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 12:04:48 +0000 Adira 1466322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Thanks! Guess I won't be going to TJs for it then! I need options with protein since that's what Xander will be really missing out on without WCM!</p> <p>@Smurfette: Sorry for the threadjack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466314 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 12:02:15 +0000 Trailmix 1466314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get ours at the farmers market from a local dairy and it's amazing! I buy the full-fat plain version and then add a little maple syrup and the babies gobble it right up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466311 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 12:01:44 +0000 Andrea 1466311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @locavore_mama: I make a special trip to TJs just for coconut yogurt since DD2 needs dairy free. Theirs only has 1 g of protein as well, fyi! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466281 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:52:30 +0000 Adira 1466281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Well I found on-line an almond milk one that has 3-4g of protein, so maybe I'll see if I can find a local store that sells that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466266 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:48:53 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1466266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy pints or half gallons or whatever the larger size is of whole yogurt, usually vanilla. It's really no different from the baby versions. LO really likes greek yogurt and cottage cheese too. I bought Stoneyfield this time, but I'm trying out all the brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466265 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:48:29 +0000 bushelandapeck 1466265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do Yo Toddler or full fat Greek. LO doesn't love yogurt anymore so I haven't really been buying it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466251 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:44:34 +0000 regberadaisy 1466251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I'm not sure! The only time she gets soy milk is when my mom makes it fresh from soy beans! I gave almond or coconut yogurt too before I started re-introducing milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466246 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:43:04 +0000 Adira 1466246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I've heard (and haven't actually done a lot of research on this myself) that soy isn't all that great for you (lots of people suggested we stay away from soy milk for Xander and do almond, coconut, hemp, etc as alternatives). Is the same true for soy yogurts?? It seems like soy yogurts have the most protein (as far as I can tell) over almond or coconut yogurts. What do you think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466237 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:40:37 +0000 regberadaisy 1466237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: wow! I definitely remember the one I gave having more protein than that. Let me see if I can find the article I found that did a comparison of alternative yogurts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466226 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:37:57 +0000 Adira 1466226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: He can do soy, but my grocery store only has So Delicious coconut yogurt for their dairy-free yogurt options (1-2g protein, tops)! I guess I have to try another store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466189 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:29:53 +0000 Mommy Finger 1466189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: I've tried to get DS on those pouches but he wasn't a fan. I should try again!</p> <p>I usually get the Stonyfield whole milk yogurt since I found the YoBaby/YoToddler to be too expensive. But I also found other whole milk yogurts and greek yogurts at our grocery store (Mariano's, it's a Chicago chain) and at TJ's. I usually mix half of the container with a fruit puree pouch and then fill up reusable pouches. DS gets one for breakfast every morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466165 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:23:30 +0000 regberadaisy 1466165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: really? We started with those and I remember them having just as much as some other yogurts. Try looking for other brands? Can he do soy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466161 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:22:58 +0000 luckypenny 1466161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probugs kefir yogurt pouches - found at whole foods </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466159 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:22:52 +0000 hilsy85 1466159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: omg seriously, the full fat stuff tastes like cream! So good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466156 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:22:10 +0000 hilsy85 1466156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only do plain greek yogurt; I didn't like how much sugar was in the flavored yobaby ones (I think some had like 23-30 grams, which seemed crazy to me). Mainly, though, the thicker consistency of greek yogurt makes it way easier to feed him, and WAY easier for him to try to self feed (although it's still messy)</p> <p>Ifyou don't like it plain, you can try mixing in applesauce or other pureed fruit! And after 1, they can use honey--LO always has a few bites of mine, which has honey in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466154 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:21:21 +0000 Adira 1466154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This conversation makes me sad that Xander's allergic to dairy! I want to feed him some yummy yogurts!</p> <p>ETA: I've tried some coconut milk yogurt for him, but those just don't have the protein I'd like... so sad. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466143 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:18:50 +0000 tinyperson 1466143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I wasn't offended, and I feed LO baby yogurt. :)</p> <p>I've tried plain yogurt on its own and mixed with fruit puree, and she won't have it. We only have two options for higher-fat (more than 3%) yogurt at our grocery store, and I've chosen the one with the least amount of sugar. Some days, yogurt is all she wants — and she's a tiny thing (3rd percentile) — so I have to give her something. It's really the only sugar she gets, so I've made my peace with it!</p> <p>ETA: we used to be able to get a 9% plain greek yogurt and she ate that at the beginning, but started refusing it. I secretly loved when she refused it, because it meant I could eat her leftovers. Sooooo yummy. I haven't seen it on the shelves in a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466087 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:06:14 +0000 regberadaisy 1466087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only Trader Joe's sells full fat yogurt around here. They don't even have them at Wegmans, Tops (affiliated with Giant) or our local organic food store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466078 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:04:13 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1466078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: We buy her the regular Chobani at Publix. If you look closely at the flavors, some flavors are 0% and some are 2%. We try to buy the 2% for her. She likes the fruit in them and we don't have time to mix it ourselves. </p> <p>I would read the labels carefully though on the baby/toddler yogurt (and adult yogurts). Some do have really high levels of sugar in them in comparison to the protein levels. I think some are almost the sugar levels of a frozen yogurt dessert treat. </p> <p>This is a 0% Chobani but the sugar/protein is similar to the 2% ones. </p> [attach=1506/14/n1x60p.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466073 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:03:42 +0000 jedeve 1466073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: I didn't know there was full fat greek yogurt! We were doing greek yogurt, but then I realized he might need more fat.</p> <p>We just get a big tub of vanilla and scoop it into a bowl and let him go crazy town on it. Mix in fruit if desired. I 'll microwave some frozen stuff and it turns into a nice addition.</p> <p>Did you know bowls formerly full of yogurt make great hats? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-yogurt-for-12-months/page/2#post-1466072 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 11:03:30 +0000 autumnlove 1466072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: I like brown cow too!
