dairly cheese

[mummytojames]

does anyone know if its safe to give a nine months old dairly cheese i tried him one a month on normal cheese but he doent seem to like it so i was wondering if i could give him soft cheese like dairley cheese in a sandwich to help bost his calcium intake a bit
hope you can help

bump anyone

Don't know the answer but our DS3 has just started having dairylea with no adverse effects and he's 9 months. I spread about half the triangle on the bread as it's quite stoggy otherwise.

DS1 had it much earlier, again not sure if it was ok or not at that age but he loved it.

You can also get other spreadable cheese, Bel Payese (Sp ?) was one that my dd loved. It is sold in little rounds in supermarket cheese pick and mix areas.

We used it as a good finger food.

I gave it to DS1 who still likes it - onl yhaven't tried iton DS2 yet cos I haven't got round to it. I think it's fine for them

Don't know how you tried ordinary cheese with your DS, but DD (nearly 8 mths) likes to he;p herself to grated cheese from a bowl. It's small enough she can't choke, but hard enough to stay around for a bit. She@s had dairylea though.

Mtj Dairylea or cream cheese (philly) is fine for a 9mo, no prob at all. Don't dismiss regular cheese tho, he may return to it when a bit older/more able to chew.

thanks all i will definately try the othe cheeses as well we gave ds like thin strips of normal cheese tried a few times and he dont like it but im going to keep trying him once a month this is just until we can get him on normal cheese properly i will try the grated idea as well and i was thinking of useing the soft cheese on bread to stick a sandwich together thanks again all this one had me realy baffled thought someone might know
