Case Study: Owning the First Foods Conversation
Many parents avoid feeding their babies yogurt as a first food due to the admonition against cows’ milk until one year of age. Our client wanted to disabuse this erroneous notion as the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends yogurt at 6 month’s of age.

Educate pediatric professionals about the features and benefits of yogurt for babies
Arm pediatric professionals with the resources they need to encourage yogurt consumption—and recommend the brand
