Is it safe to give cheddar / Philadelphia etc at 7 months?

[TiredofTinsel]

I know to avoid blue cheese, Brie, Camembert etc but am I ok to give my DS 'standard' cheeses now? I think so but DH thinks not.

why not?

It's fine.

Mine loved fingers of bread with phili on at that age. They'd also gum sticks of mild cheddar.

Thanks all, think he's almost convinced now!

I didn't even know you were supposed to avoid brie etc - thought it was just salt, honey and whole nuts.

My DD2 is 7mo and has enjoyed a full cheeseboard over Christmas.
