Are we still only giving Greek yogurt?

Yes any yogurt Is aloud x

I go with the little yeos no added sugar ones :)

You can give any yoghurt but we still just choose to do Greek yoghurt as it’s higher in protein. But we also use natural yoghurt in some recipes and she has those petit flours at the childminder as an occasional treat which we’d never get at home as they are high in sugar but more flexible when it comes to the childminder as the main meals are wholesome/home cooked.

Thanks ladies and in terms of snacks, other than fruit what are we giving?

We do 2 snacks a day, one is usually a banana, and one is usually an oaty bar/fruity bake/some kind of packaged kids snack.
Did grapes and cheese cubes the other day which went down well.
Did rice cakes with various toppings for a while but she went off them.

Greek yoghurt isn't recommended for kids under 2. Too much protein can damage their kidneys.
Little yeo or suckies are good flavoured options with no added sugars or sweetners. If not full fat natural yoghurt and add whatever flavours you like honey, squished berries etc...

My daughter has a mixture of natural yogurt and probably twice a week a small fruit yogurt. We buy Aldi’s own brand she lovely them.

I’ve never heard that about Greek yoghurt. Any child dietician that I’ve come across recommends it as a healthy option 🤷‍♀️

toddlers should only have around 13g of protein a day so if they're having greek yoghurt there's not much room for meats, beans, dairy etc... a lot of health organisations will advise natural over greek yoghurt so that there's enough room for other proteins. As I say too much protein can damage kidneys x

so weird that this isn’t mentioned anywhere. Usually the opposite is said about it being a good option. Though we eat mainly vege and she doesn’t have bottles of milk so Greek yoghurt is a good source for her and isn’t every day.

not to be taken in the wrong way but where is the NHS guidance on this if it’s so bad for them? There is literally no where that states protein intake should be that restricted for toddlers. Totally get too much can be damaging or whatever but if it was that big of a thing would it not be more widely advised to restrict protein as 13g is not a lot and most toddlers eat way more in a day! They must need to consume waaaaaaaayyy too much to actually damage their kidneys otherwise we’d hear of stupid amount of cases surely with the protein intake in this country. Not saying it should be overdone whatsoever but I feel certain info that seems to only come from a VERY specific group on FB is just not enough to be able to say ‘this is ALL they should eat and nothing more’.
I’ve seen posts from credible accounts that have said many times toddlers easily get their protein requirement of 13g (it’s what they need) and normally consume more too but if they are otherwise well it’s fine.

I have been giving my son Yeo valley no added sugar from almost the beginning
