Cheese

jmo866

Forgive me if this has been asked recently, but I am wondering about giving DS cheese. I have heard that, like yogurt, it should be whole milk. Do you only give whole milk cheese? All the cheese we have at home says skim milk in the ingredients, but they are just standard brands. I did not see anything with whole milk ingredients at the store. Just wondering what you do for cheese, and if it should be ok to just give him whatever regular cheddar or mozzarella we have in the fridge. TIA!

I think I'd only worry about it if I were trying to use it replace some of LO's daily milk allowance. But as long as they're still getting all their milk, I just give whatever we have!

Ditto on all the above - I buy string cheese that is whole milk for him. OK, I might have it sometimes, too. It's so good!

My daughter LOVES feeding herself shredded cheese. Usually mozzarella, but we've given her cheddar and mixed flavors. Wouldn't worry about the full fat thing...

I give whatever we have; however, so far, she's only liked Frigo string cheese.
