They have lots of protein and are thin enough to work in most sippy cups. They can be a bit pricey, however, so here's a recipe you can use to make your own at home for a fraction of the cost. INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:Blend all ingredients in blender until desired consistency is reached (thicker for toddlers if you like, thinner for babies).
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container and shake well before serving. Be sure to use juice concentrate that is 100 percent juice with no sugar added for the most nutritional benefit. You can also use 1 1/2 cups of fresh fruit puree in place of the juice concentrate. This is great for making banana or other flavors that are typically not available as juice. Remember, when giving to your baby, use fruits he's already tried successfully. Yogurt can be given to babies around 9 months of age (some pediatricians say even earlier). There are very few milk proteins in it and the lactose is already broken down. Be sure and consult your health care provider if you have a family history of food (especially dairy) allergies or if your baby has had problems in the past with new foods, however. User Reviews
