Ok if you are asking if the only thing babies can eat is cottage cheese period, then the answer i no; babies can eat anything it possible for them to eat , why do you think there is baby food out there? as long as its good healthy and age appropriate a baby can eat it.
BUT if you are asking if the only kind of cheese they can eat the answer is still no. Cheeses are typically offered to the non-allergic baby between 8 and 10 months of age. If your baby has a known or suspected dairy allergy (either a milk protein or lactose intolerance) then you should wait to introduce cheese and other dairy when your infant is older. As always, I recommend you consult your baby's pediatrician about introducing cheese to your baby as generalities may not apply!
Cheese is very good for baby and provides calcium, "good" fats and protein too! You can introduce cheese to your baby by offering the lighter tasting cheeses (Colby, Jack, American) as well as offering cottage cheese!
If baby cannot mash/grasp, melt cheeses over vegetables or add to veggie/meat purees. If baby can mash/grasp and has had Baby Finger Foods, cut cheeses into small bits and offer to baby as a snack.
Cheeses also may be offered via the old classic grilled cheese sandwich or mac-n-cheese – again, this will be dependent on how baby is with mashing/grasping other foods.
About Cottage Cheese:
Cottage cheese is a good choice for dairy if your baby has been ok with yogurt and/or other cheese. The one thing about cottage cheese that you might be mindful of is the texture. For babies just starting out on dairy, cottage cheese might not be a good choice as a first starter due to it not being as highly cultured as yogurt. For those infants who do not have a lot of experience with textures and lumpy foods, cottage cheese may not be a good starter for dairy is due to the texture.
You can puree cottage cheese and mix it with fruits and even veggies if you like. If your baby is doing well with texture and dairy such as yogurt, cottage cheese is one of those foods that makes a nice finger food (albeit a very messy one!).

Depends whether baby has teeth or not!! If baby has a couple of teeth and can chew ... cheese of any sort is fine. You could grate cheddar into her food .....

no! depends on age of baby. medical advice now states not to start weaning until 6 months old! that would be with babyrice mixed with the breast or formula milk then gradually moving to different tastes and textures. how old is the baby?? need more info hun!
