Cheese & Yogurt?

I know dairy is not recommended before a year, but does anyone give cheese and yogurt to LO prior to a year?

I was reading that the cultures counteract the milk proteins, or something like that, so it isn't as irritating on baby's stomach. I'm not sure how much stock to put into it, but I'm trying to come up with healthy, high calorie foods since he is in the 4th percentile. Any other suggestions welcome!

    I've given cheese and yogurt.. I didn't think I was supposed to wait until a year? I haven't noticed and side effects...

    The best thing to do would be to ask you pediatrician.  My niece was under weight and she had to have butter put on her veggies.

    My LO eats cheese and yogurt.  I think (and I could be wrong), that part of the no dairy before a year, refers to giving cows milk as a replacement to breastmilk or formula.

    We started cheese at 7 months and yogurt maybe around 8?  I'd read that was fine.

    It is, but my pedi rec'd a year for ANY dairy. I didn't wait and it was fine.

    My pedi said it was fine to give, at least yogurt.  He also said any kind is fine.  I give whole fat greek yogurt.  I plan on starting shredded cheese as a finger food this weekend.
