Babies: 9 - 12 Months

If you give your baby cheese..

What kind do you give her?  And what other dairy products do you feed- yogurt, cottage, ???  ~TIA !

Re: If you give your baby cheese..

  • Interested to see replies. I was thinking about shredding some cheddar and giving it to DS. My friend's pedi told her anything is fine (including dairy) for baby except honey. I know lots of babies like cottage.

  • I've given him string cheese that I cup up into pieces. Kraft also sells packages of cubed cheese that have cheddar and I've given him that too.

    He get's yogurt once a day now. I have yet to try cottage cheese, but that is only because I don't eat it myself.

  • Whatever cheese we have on hand. He also has yogurt. I didn't even think of cottage cheese, duh. That would be perfect to feed babies!
  • She's been getting shredded cheddar.  Sometimes I melt it on toast for some "cheesy toast" - she LOVES it.
  • we started dairy at 9 months

    cottage cheese (she loves it), grilled cheese, shredded chesse, yogurt, cut uppieces of cheese -- she loves it!

  • We started about 8 months and basically I just pinch up 1 slice of Borden sliced cheese and give w/ apples so it doesn't cause tummy problems.   And we finally found that Yo Baby so we'll try that this weekend.
  • I usually give DD shredded cheese b/c it's easy for her to handle.  She's had whatever we have on hand...cheddar, mozzarella.  I've also given her slices of american cheese.

    I didn't start cheese until she was probably 8mo old.  I gave her YoBaby around that time too.  I was a little hesitant b/c my brother had issues with dairy when he was a baby and I was afraid that DD might also.  She's done fine with it though.

    Just this past weekend I gave her whole milk in a sippy with her lunch.  Obviously that's a ways away for you though.

  • DD gets cheddar, colby jack, feta, mozzarella, cream cheese.  Otherwise we have given yogurt.  I bought cottage cheese but we haven't given it to her since she is all about feeding herself and that just seems way too messy.
  • I give her organic shredded cheese (mexican mix and mozzerella), cottage cheese (again organic), cream cheese, and organic yogurt.
