Can a 1-year-old child drink yogurt?

Patient's question:

Dear Expert:
Hello! Yesterday, when I bought Lepi Growth Milk (the one with lactic acid bacteria), the store owner said that one-year-old children can drink it. Later, I saw a newspaper article saying that children under three should not drink yogurt. But some reports say that drinking yogurt can prevent colds, such as Yili yogurt, etc. So, could you please tell me, can one-year-old children really drink yogurt?

Doctor's answer:

Edible. Yogurt available in the market is generally drinkable, but it's best to consume it as little as possible, and no more than 2-3 times a week, with no more than 2 bottles each time. Many are formulated yogurt, containing many not-so-good additives. For example, acesulfame potassium, which can affect normal eating and cause other impacts. Additionally, fermented yogurt is a bit better.
