Ok I know babies are not supposed to have milk until they are one but what about all of the other main dairy things? Is there any certain age before they can have cheese and yogurt?

I should probably know this but I just can't come up with anything!

Thanks in advance!

I got Jenny some 6 month+ yoghurts... I don't think they make them for babies younger than that. As for cheese.. I didn't give her actual pieces of cheese til about 10 months, but it's in some of her jars of baby food & she's had those since about 6 or 7 months.

I don't think there are any strict rules.. it's up to you!

My ped said that yogurt was fine because it's broken down so much that it is quite easy on the stomach. Just be careful what you mix it with, because little ones can't have strawberries.
I have given my son ice cream and he really loves it. He's 8 months

I really don't know why, I just know my ped said not to give them. I don't know if it has somthing to do with the seeds?

What I was told is under the age of 1 a baby can't have Peanut products, honey, seafood, strawberries, and honey. I have also heard they can't have egg whites or chocolate, but my ped didn't say that, just some random person.

Ya the seeds would be my guess..

I took Brayden in for his 9mo appt last week and they gave me a list of foods to try.. It didn't have strawberries on it tho so I guess I never really thought about it!

Oh and now that you mentioned they can't have seafood I'm probably going to get the worst mommy award.. I let brayden have a few bites of tuna helper last night Shocked .. I guess the dr. forgot to tell me seafood was a no no too...


But in good news, I did decide to give brayden yogurt this morning and he LOVED it!

I gave Oni cheese when she started eating the Gerber Puffs. She also STILL loveeees yogurt!!

I also gave her strawberries and rasberries at around 8 months. It's not because of the seeds, it's because of a potential allergic reaction to the red dye that they natually contain.

Donald loves shredded cheese and yogurt. In fact we are having difficulties with solids and that is so far the best for us. we are working on more. i wish you the best. Donald is now 10 months so im sure your little guy should do fine with some cheese and yogurt
