♥ STARTING YOGURT...

Beautiful Glitters

When Can My Baby Start Yogurt?
Most pediatricians recommend starting your infant on Yogurt around 7-8 months of age. Some pediatricians also recommend yogurt as a great first food (from 6 months+).

Selecting a Whole Milk Yogurt is the most beneficial to your infant as babies need fats

in their diets for proper growth!
You can buy Plain Whole Milk Yogurt made by such companies as Stonyfield Farm, Cascade Fresh and Brown Cow.

You can also Make Your Own Homemade Yogurt!

Stonyfield Farm makes the YoBaby brand that many parents know and love! However, using a large container of Plain Whole Milk yogurt will save you money (and save on added sugar) and give you the flexibility of adding your own flavorings to baby's yogurt. As regards yogurts marketed for for infants (between the ages of 8 months and 12 months old), the YoBaby brand does contain natural organic sugars. The sugar content is less than in a brand such as Dannimals and it is natural and not refined or chemically processed sugar. There are no additives such as starches, fructose syrup, gelatin etc in the Stonyfield YoBaby brand either. You may be surprised to learn that all yogurts, even the Plain yogurts, will contain sugar. Sugar (lactose) occurs naturally in dairy products. This "dairy" sugar is not an additive and

we feel that is an important distinction to make!

FEELINGS...

Many people who have to start the day early, find it
difficult to wake up properly.
For some of them the solution is very straightforward:
they drink two cups of coffee and the feelings of the
fatigue disappear. This is the effect of coffee, but also in
such drink as tea, cola and cocoa taken in reasonable amounts,
the stimulating chemical may help some people to work
more efficiently. However, excessive quantities of caffeine
can cause several irritating, unhealthy side effects.
Studies show, in fact, that more than two cups of coffee
a day can cause unpleasant symptoms such as

*nervousness, *irritability,

*stomach pain and *insomnia !
