Does anyone recommend a healthy chalav yisroel yogurt for a baby, that's full fat and doesn't contain tons of sugar?
I was told to introduce yogurt to my 9 month old but all the yogurts I've seen in the stores don't seem healthy to me at all. What do you give your babies?

A baby who has never sugar will eat plain yogurt. There are no full fat cholov yisrael plain where I live so I make my own.

Oh that's smart, I never thought of doing that. Maybe I can mash a banana and add to plain yogurt! Thanks for the idea!
Does anyone have any other ideas?

My baby adores plain yogurt. I would never add anything so he doesn't get used to the sweet flavor.
What's wrong with plain yogurt?
In the event that you do need to sweeten it, try to use just fruit puree. Juice, honey etc. are all sweeteners. All the flavored yogurts in the store are full of sugars.

I give the mehadrin greek yogurt plain. The first time he made a sour face so I mix a bit of baby food in it. I figure more nutrition cant hurt.

The problem is that babies (all people for that matterbut thats another discussion) should only have full fat dairy. The cholov yisrael normans and mehadrin, despite not having any additives or gums, are not full fat.
One thing cholov stam baby yogurts are is full fat.

Fat content notwithstanding, there is still calcium, protein and beneficial bacteria. So I have to make sure to give other foods high in fat as well.

Did you taste it yourself? I don't think it's made for human consumption as is. Fruit puree is perfect. About 2 oz of fruit to 5 oz of yogurt.

I know the yobaby chalav stam yogurt is excellent for babies, I just wish they made a chalav yisroel version.
