i know this is not baby care but i'll ask anyway, does all yoghurt contain the acidophilus the friendly bacteria or only yoghurt that they fortify with it?

this sounds like a question for BBK, and a good one too! i'm pretty sure that yoghurt is fortified with acidophilus, and that it's not naturally occuring. apparently, acidophilus is one of the few bacteria to survive through the digestive tract - most likely why they do it.

They do, however many of the commercial ones have low acidophilus and some kill it all because it tends to have a sour taste that most people dislike. The sourer the yogurt the more acidophilus it has (most likely). Surpisingly "la yogurt" plain is a good one. Usually though more of it is found in the gourmet varieties. I doubt that "Danon" or "Colombo" have that much in there. I don't know where you live, but look for Greek Yogurt. It's usually very rich tasting and rich in acidophilus (Lactobacillus acidophilus is the full name)

Go to your nearest health food store and buy some Acidophilus pills. I take Acidophilus pills and eat yogurt daily to put healthy bacteria back into my body. Yogurt contains live active bacteria. I would only buy yogurt from health food stores. You will likely get more live active acidophilus in it. Take care Qwert

qwert I have a BS (BullSh*t) in physiology and an MS (More Sh*t) in biochemistry. OK just kidding, I really have those degrees, but this particular tidbit of info comes from my healthnut past life. Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Streptococcus thermophilus are grown in yogurt and they are both very powerful anti-oxidants. Our bodies and some nasty agents called "free radicals" (what's in a name) do not get along. Substances that are anti-oxidants can help neutralize those free radicals. The Lactobacillus bulgaricus bacteria has the added benefit that it makes yogurt taste good.... if you like tart that its.

My sister wants me to give my seven month old daughter yogurt. Do you know if this okay? It's seems harmless enough to me but I'm paranoid about introducing new foods too early.

P, It's one of the easiest things to digest I'd say check with the baby's doctor. A good yogurt made just for babies is "yobaby". It's low in sugar and organic

You can give yogurt to a baby starting at six months. I actually had a doc at the kids' emergency room suggest that I start feeding yogurt to my daughter to help her digestion.
