Prep warning
Use pasteurized skyr and choose plain, unsweetened. Whole cow's milk is not a main drink before 12 months, but cultured dairy like skyr as a food is fine from around 6 months.
How to serve by age
6-9 months
Offer plain full-fat pasteurized skyr on its own or stirred into a smooth fruit purée. This strained cultured dairy is thick and spoonable. Choose unsweetened and skip added sugar.
Serve spoonable, plain or stirred into a purée. No cutting needed.
9-12 months
Keep offering plain pasteurized skyr by the spoon or mixed with soft mashed fruit, cooked oats, or as a dip for soft finger foods. Let your baby practice self-feeding with a preloaded spoon.
Spoonable or used as a dip. No cutting needed.
12-18 months
Pasteurized skyr fits family meals now: stirred into smoothies, layered with soft fruit, or used in place of sour cream on warm dishes. Keep it unsweetened where you can.
