introducing cheese

I love cheese myself and I am just wondering when is the good time, how and what kind of cheese to introduce to my 9 month young babies?
Thanks,

 

We started with shredded cheddar cheese about 7 or 8 months and the girls just love it! Now they are old enough to have cheese sticks, but they still love the shredded cheese. Good luck!

 

I just did plain ol' american when I introduced it.

 

We introduced American and the Mozzarella cheese sticks probably around 9-10 months. Our kiddos love cheese!

 

We had a delayed feeding schedule and started with shredded cheddar around 11 months. They probably could have had it earlier but I just followed what ped suggested for my preemies. They still LOVE it (and still make a mess with it!).

 

At nine months you're babies are def. ready for cheese! We also started with shredded blends (cheddar, mozzerella), etc...I cut up string cheese and they love it! Yesterday I get them little pieces of goat cheese...they LOOOOVED it

 

we started about 9 months and i gave them cubes of baby swiss cheese and they LOVE it, they devour every cube in seconds if I don't pace them

 

I cut little cubes of medium cheddar (Tillamook brand) and cubes of string cheese...the babies love them both!

 

we started with mild cheddar. I'd read that you should start with mild...

once I got both cheese & bread in, I'm now able to make a grilled cheese sandwich... my favorite! I'm now starting to feel like they are actually going to eat real table food... yay!

Thanks for posting this. I want to do the same and have given up on our pedi (who doesnt recommend table foods until 12-18 months!) so your post has helped me too!
