Is it suitable for a 1-year-old child to drink yogurt?

Patient's question:

Dear Expert,
Hello! Yesterday, when I was buying Lopizhuzhang milk powder (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 Yiliado. So, could you please tell me if one-year-old children can 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. Moreover, do not exceed 2-3 times a week, and do not drink more than 2 bottles each time. Many are formula yogurt, containing many not-so-good additives. For example, sweeteners, which can affect normal eating and cause other impacts. Additionally, fermented yogurt is a bit better.
