I started O on yoghurt when he is 7 months old. After doing a mini research on the internet and books, I figured it will have to be full fat, unsweetened, natural and preferably organic. I couldn’t find an unsweetened organic one, thus my first buy was this for quite a while: It tastes yucky.… Continue reading Yoghurt choices for baby
