Yoghurt is the perfect ingredient for almost any occasion; sweet, savoury, drinks, sides and snacks …
Whether you love making your own mint yoghurt for Indian dishes, whipping up some bircher muesli, or you just love a big bowl of yoghurt with some fruit for a snack, you really can’t go wrong with a thick, creamy, healthy yoghurt.
Which is why we are so excited to share that we are giving hundreds of MoM Members the opportunity to try the brand new range of Icelandic Skyr yoghurt, brought to you by Woolworths!
This thick and yummy yoghurt is an Australian take on the classic Icelandic Style yoghurt, Skyr (pronounced skeer) Made from skimmed milk, its highly nutritious, low in fat and high in protein! Try with breakfast granola, enjoy it an an afternoon treat or top with berries for a quick and easy dessert.
The special straining technique used to make Woolworths Icelandic Style Skyr Yoghurt removes watery whey from the yoghurt resulting in thick spoonfuls which are high in protein and low in fat.
Icelandic Skyr yoghurt comes in a range of flavours …
Woolworths Icelandic Style Skyr Yoghurt:
Is naturally high in protein
Has less than 0.5% Fat
Is a great source of Calcium
Is strained for thickness
Comes is 170g single serves and a large 700g family size
Where is Skyr available?
Skyr is available in Woolworths stores and online. Flavours may vary between stores and online.
Mums are currently reviewing the Woolworths Icelandic Style Skyr Range.
We sent MoM members a Woolworths voucher and asked them to visit their local Woolies to pick up Skyr products to try at home with their families and friends.
Slightly sweeter than greek yogurt, silky in texture similar to whipped cream. Skyr, my family and I love your Icelandic yogurt which has now become a staple in our household!

This youghurt is absolutely amazing, creamy and delicious with natural or two other flavours, there's a style for everyone. We used the natural yoghurt in looking then had the vanilla bean with strawberries to dip for dessert, everyone was amazed at the versatility and that it was low fat youghurt, thanks for the straining method.

My family loves it and so do I, so hard to find a healthy option with a great taste but this one ticks all the boxes. I was hoping to try the strawberry but my local Woolies only had the natural. I drizzled a bit of honey on mine for breakfast as I have a bit of a sweet tooth but love that I can give the same yoghurt to my son knowing it's good for him and not full of all that junk.
Will definitely buy again

This was perfect with some pancakes and fresh strawberries, smooth and thick and totally delish! Love the 5 star health rating!
I purchased the Natural variety because it was actually the only one stocked in my local Woolworths but I love that it was available in two different sizes.
I grabbed a couple of the 170g tubs and served one up with the pancakes and strawberries for a late lunch, there's still a little left over to go with tomorrows breakfast so I'm really happy with the serving size of each tub.
The Natural variety is great for serving with something sweet and I'm really looking forward to trying the Strawberry and the Vanilla varieties if our Woolworths store does stock them in the future.

My Daughter came over this afternoon. She and her Two Girls eat a lot of Yoghurt. I got her to try SKYR Yoghurt a la natural. She LOVED it also. We even added smashed Banana and a little Maple Syrup. Yummo!!! She was going to buy some for her Girls to try but I had to say that our Woolworths were out of it? Unless she asked if they had any out the back, maybe they hadn't had a chance to top up with the Christmas period. I f she can't get any she said that she would get some tomorrow when we go into town which is half an hour away. Thank you for giving me the chance to try SKYR Yoghurt. Definitely buying again.

I received the Woolworths cards in the mail 20/12/2017. I went to Woolworths 21/12/2017. Unfortunately Woolworths had a promotion the week before. If you had a Woolworths Rewards Card you received SKYR Yoghurt for no charge. BUT I managed to find x1 Natural SKYR Yoghurt. I LOVED it. It is so creamy and smooth. I divided it into portions. I tried it a la natural on cereal, with smashed Banana, with Strawberries, with Blueberries and finally Mango. The combinations could be endless!!! OOH LA LA all combinations were divine you could even say decadent. What I also LOVE is that it is made with Skim Milk. Low in fat and high in protein. I have a Disability that has stopped me from being as active as I was. So SKYR Yoghurt is ideal for me to help with trying not to gain weight. I need all the help that I can. Definitely buying SKYR Yoghurt again.

Skyr Yoghurt was delicious, creamy and everyone enjoyed it; I love that it has a 5 star health rating, making it a wonderful choice. Wheather it is the strawberry one having real fruit on the bottom or the natural which comes in a larger size too (that we all love), they are ideal for families and budget friendly. Being high in protein and low in fat; these are products that we know/trust. I happily recommend to others and will be purchasing again.

My husband picked up Skyr when I left him unsupervised grocery shopping. Since he usually throws in junk food and questionable foods (mushy peas!) I was surprised that I actually liked the taste of Skyr. When I looked on the nutritional label, to find out that it had very low sugar was a total bonus! I haven't said anything to my family and they have been hoovering it up on cereal for breakfasts, snacks with fruit and dessert with a dollop of honey. Gets my vote.

Both Vanilla varieties and the Strawberry were loved by my family. The kids 5&6 usually only eat the smooth yoghurts but the fruit in the strawberry was great tasting. Good value for money and a great convenient snack for me. One downside is that there aren’t more yummy flavours to choose from!!

Having recently been to Iceland I was excited to find this product on supermarket shelves. I purchased vanilla and strawberry flavours. The product falls a long way short of the real thing. It is not skyr. Disappointed.

Skyr was a a great tasting yoghurt. It tasted sweet, but knowing it is healthy for my family makes it much better. It's great to have a yoghurt we can give the boys to eat, but also use for things such a smoothies or cooking. Thanks for letting us try Skyr yoghurt. Only thing I'd have to say is that our woolworths only had Original flavour available. We would love to be able to try the other flavors one day too.

I tried the natural Greek style skyr yoghurt and it tasted pretty good. I sometimes find these types of yoghurt a bit tart, but this one was a pretty good option. I’ve also tried the vanilla bean one and that was more to my liking. The Woolworths I’ve been to haven’t had the strawberry version and that would be my preferred option, so if I see that again I might give it a ago. I’ve also had trouble finding the larger size tubs which I usually buy as my whole family eat yoghurt. I’ll keep a look out though!

I had never tried skyr yoghurt before now and while I had seen it before I didn’t realise it was a Woolworths product.
It’s a good choice for Greek style yoghurt and I didn’t find it too tart like I do some in this categories. I would like to see more flavour options as my Woolworths only had Greek and vanilla bean (not sure if it comes in others). I did like it though and if I was looking for this kind of yoghurt I would probably buy it again.
The biggest negative for me that it only came in the small, single size in my Woolworths that I could see and we tend to buy the large family size tubs as we all eat it.

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
As a parent of a child with cystic fibrosis, I’ve learned to trust my gut when something doesn’t feel right. We’ve had a few experiences where we’ve needed to go through different channels to raise concerns or frustrations with the hospital system to make sure our daughter got the care she needed. It’s great to see programs like this encouraging families to speak up, because parents often know when something isn’t quite right.

It’s great to see programs like this encouraging families to speak up, because parents often know when something isn’t quite right.
This is so true from my experience over the years.
No matter how wonderful the medical team is, if you have any doubts speak up as a mother knows her child better than anyone.
Yes and amen to this article ! I agree with always follow your gut, you know your child like no one else does. In fact you are your child’s expert and should never stop advocating for them or speaking up. Sometimes professionals are very good in waving concerns away, all it takes is a human who listens
Even as a healthcare professional, when I took my soon to the ED when I was concerned, I felt awkward about speaking up, worried I was making a big deal out of nothing (even though i would never tjink this about a patient’s family if the roles were reversed). The message in this article is so important. Always stick to your guns. Always speak up and advocate for your kids – they can’t do it for themselves.
And honestly, some medical staff are idiots. I vividly remember the night two doctors huddled over my son’s lung x-rays. I hadn’t been allowed to accompany him to have them taken as I was pregnant. They finally told me solemnly that they were preparing to do emergency surgery as there was something in his lungs – “we don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely man made”. I took one look at the x-rays and asked if they’d taken off the battery packs for his cochlear implants, which were pinned to the back of his shirt, before the x-ray. And of course they hadn’t, and of course that’s what appeared to be in his lungs. Honestly!
I have learned many times to always listen to your gut and speak up when you don’t think something is right. This article was a great read, our kids are our world and if we don’t feel they are getting the right help, and we feel it, we need to speak up.
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
