Can babies drink yogurt?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Yogurt contains less calcium, newborns are in the process of growth and development and require a large amount of calcium. Additionally, yogurt is produced by lactic acid bacteria, which generate antibiotics. Although these can inhibit and eliminate many pathogenic microorganisms, they also destroy the growth conditions of beneficial bacteria in the human body. At the same time, they can also affect normal digestive function, which is particularly disadvantageous for infants suffering from gastroenteritis and premature infants. Moreover, giving yogurt to babies too early can also develop their preference for sweet foods.
