Can a Seven-Month-Old Baby Consume Yogurt?

A seven-month-old baby can drink yogurt in moderation, avoiding drinking too much at one time. The gastrointestinal tract of a seven-month-old baby has basically matured, and babies of this age can appropriately add complementary foods. Yogurt has a sour taste and is rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and other nutrients. Drinking yogurt in moderation can supplement the body with nutrients and usually does not affect physical development. Additionally, yogurt is also rich in probiotics, and drinking it in moderation can promote gastrointestinal motility, accelerate the digestion and absorption of food, and effectively improve indigestion. However, drinking too much yogurt at one time may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to symptoms such as belching, nausea, and vomiting. Attention should be paid to this. If a baby experiences gastrointestinal discomfort after drinking yogurt, parents are advised to perform clockwise massage or tuina on the baby's abdomen to accelerate the breakdown of yogurt. If there is a tendency to be allergic to yogurt or if the baby has a weak spleen and stomach, yogurt should be avoided. A seven-month-old baby can also appropriately add vegetable complementary foods, such as celery puree and spinach puree, to supplement the body with necessary trace elements and improve its immune capabilities. In addition, attention should be paid to the baby's sleep and waking habits.
