That’s especially important for babies, because their little bodies are more vulnerable to pesticide exposure. YoBaby is also made without the use of synthetic growth hormones or antibiotics.

My Review
Now that you know the important things about Yo Toddler, let me tell you what I think...or better yet, what Sydney thinks! Sydney LOVES yogurt, but not all yogurt is created equal in her eyes. She can't read, but she definitely knows if she likes the taste or not. She especially likes yogurt with fruit in it, and she does not like the "kids" yogurt that tastes like candy and is extremely sweet. Weird, I know. Yo Toddler comes in strawberry banana and apple flavor (but our store doesn't carry the apple flavor). I wish they had more flavors to choose from, but luckily Sydney likes strawberries AND bananas. I realized really quickly that this yogurt is easiest if you pour it in a bowl so that you can mix it up. I tried it and I liked the taste, but I'm not really the important one here, am I? Sydney absolutely LOVES this yogurt. She asks for it pretty much every day and will eat the entire container (pretty quickly, I might add). As a mom, it makes me feel better that this yogurt is VERY good for her and is organic. Somewhere, when Sydney was born, I read that if you are going to buy one item organic you should make it milk because it makes the biggest difference. I will confess that I don't buy all organic products, but Sydney drinks organic milk most of the time, and since yogurt is in the milk family (as far as I'm concerned) I like to know that there is an organic option there as well.
