As your baby reaches the 6-to-8-month milestone, you’re likely eager to expand their palate with healthy additions like curd (yogurt). Many parents wonder: should you make it at home or buy it from the store?
Homemade curd is often considered the gold standard. It allows you to control the freshness and ensures there are no added preservatives, which is ideal for a baby’s developing digestive system. However, if home-setting doesn’t work out, don’t feel guilty! Many parents successfully use high-quality, trusted store-bought brands like Akshayakalpa or Mother Dairy once their baby is a bit older.
If you are worried about digestion, start with a small amount—a teaspoon or two—to see how your baby handles it. Keep an eye out for any signs of discomfort. Since every baby is different, what works for one might not be perfect for another. When in doubt, or if you have concerns about potential dairy sensitivities, a quick chat with your pediatrician is always a great way to put your mind at ease. Happy weaning!
