Is greek yogurt good for babies?
Greek yogurt contains twice the protein of regular yogurt due to straining. Rich in calcium, probiotics, and vitamin B12. Always choose plain, full-fat for babies — the fat supports brain development, and plain avoids added sugar. The live cultures support gut microbiome development from early infancy.
