When you give your babies yogurt, how much do you give and how often. I think I read where someone gives it everyday. I am assuming it goes by age and weight so I have Bella 2 yrs and 5.5 pounds and Diggy 14 weeks Tuesday, he is about 2.5-3 pounds. I give the Yo Baby

LuvMySissy · 06-10-2007, 04:10 PM

Yogurt is breakfast for my girls everyday. I don't have a specific age/weight ratio, I just give them both a heaping tablespoon mixed with their Missing Link. I use the Stoneyfield Organic either plain or vanilla.

diggy4 · 06-10-2007, 04:19 PM

hmmm well they both absolutely love it so I think I am going to try and give it daily, maybe before breakfast. DO yours turn into a total mess when they eat it?? DIggy seriously had it between his eyes and Bella had it dripping off her chin and all over the sides of her face....Is there a neat way of doing this and Im missing it??

Ozzie'sperson · 06-10-2007, 04:25 PM

Definitely go by weight. Your babies should be able to share a single container for at least 2-3 days! (Since you're using Yo Baby!) Oz gets his once a day and a container lasts 2 days. (He is 14 pounds.)

And a neat way?

Yeah, open their mouths and insert it.

Otherwise, if you find a neat way, let me know. Have a damp rag ready when they're done if not!

diggy4 · 06-10-2007, 05:06 PM

Okay then I did it right....they ate about 1/3 of the container together. SO I am on pace for 3 days!

Im so smart.....lol Actually the mess was getting bad and I have 2 spots of yogurt on my pj now

I learned real fast have wet paper towel on hand

Out of curiosity whats the difference in yo baby, you said "since your using go baby" Is that what you use too? I got strawberry banana is that okay?

LuvMyPrinceKobi · 06-10-2007, 05:09 PM

I just started feeding mine a little less than a tablespoon w/ missing link in the morning as well. He must be a neat-freak, b/c there isn't a drop of yogurt ANYwhere when he's finished, AND the bowl is licked clean

diggy4 · 06-10-2007, 05:14 PM

Does he have short hair?

Yeah, I guess shorter than most. He still has plenty of hair on his face to get in the water tho....

Layla gets about 1 tsp to 1.5 tsps of yogurt with some berries (i buy them frozen and defrost a few and it will last a week) every day for breakfast... some times she wont' eat it all and the rest becomes an afternoon snack!

Yes, I use Yo Baby! so I was basing your serving amount on those containers since you said that's what you'd bought. The strawberry didn't set well with Ozzie. (I think it had cereal in it as well.)
I usually get the vanilla/banana pack and he does OK with both.
Yeah, that wet towel is a prerequisite -- unless you're Kobi, I guess!

diggy4 · 06-11-2007, 03:22 AM

Okay thats what I was wondering....if this is what you used also. I didnt see any kind of Vanilla they had pear something, strawberry ban and i cannot remember the 3rd. Thanks for advice!

That is the one thing to watch with Yo Baby, that some of the flavors do contain baby cereal as well.

Sissy and Angel don't have puppy cuts (though Angel is still a puppy at 7 months). I use little dishes for their yogurt that are meant for wasabit and sushi sauces (cause they are a great small size) and there isn't a drop of yogurt left on their dish or on them. They lap it right up!!!!!!!!!!

diggy4 · 06-11-2007, 03:27 AM

Yes, I did see the ones with cereal.....I did not get those. Ae the cereal ones bad?

Ozzie'sperson · 06-11-2007, 04:35 AM

I don't think they're bad, I just don't think they are as easily digestible -- especially for these guys. And considering that my tank of a dog had trouble with them, I'm thinking it would be worse for the guys who are less than half his size, which I think are most of the dogs on YorkieTalk.

And I guess I'm jealous of all the "neat" Yorkies. Ozzie is Mr. Mess personfied!
