my baby is 7 months can he have chesse he wants to eat what we eat?

Answer 1

Cheese and yogurt can be introduced at about 8-10 months, unless there's a known milk protein allergy. One good way to serve it to a baby is to shred it into large shreds. You'll want to avoid unpasteurized cheeses because they may contain the bacteria listeria. Here's an article with more information for you:

Answer 2

I would not recommend cheese until 9 months and some doctors say till 1 yr at it is very hard on your digestive system. Other than that, there are a few foods not to eat such as egg whites and honey. Just be sure to introduce one food at a time and leave 2-3 days between each one to be sure he doesn't have an allergy. So don't be giving him a casserole with all kinds of food he hasn't had before as if he gets an upset stomach or has an allergic reaction you won't know to what. Just make sure foods are finely cut up as well so he won't choke. You might have to blend up what he eats in the blender. HOpe this helps.

Answer 3

Its great that you are feeding your baby table food at such a young age. You are preventing picky eating and possibly allergies.

Cheese is a tough one. Many sources say you can give cheese and yogurt either starting at 6 months or at 9 months because the bacteria predigests the proteins. However you should take a look at family history of allergic disorders as milk protein is a common allergen.

Why is it OK to give a 9 month old baby yogurt made with whole milk and NOT OK to give a 9 month old baby whole milk to drink?
Thank you for your response."

The answer is that if you give an infant under a year cow’s milk, the infant can develop microscopic gastrointestinal bleeding (you don’t see it in the diaper), and this can lead to anemia and other problems. Yogurt does not cause this same reaction. Now: WHY does this happen? It seems to be the milk proteins that are responsible for this mild allergic reaction. In yogurt or infant formulas, the milk proteins are “de-natured” by heat in such a way that this allergic reaction does not happen.

At Six Months

Puréed meats can be given at six months (or even earlier if baby is very mature). Meats will help ensure adequate intake of iron, zinc, and protein with the decrease in breast milk and formula.17

A variety of fruits can be introduced at this time. Avocado, melon, mangoes and papaya can be mashed and given raw. High-pectin fruits such as peaches, apricots, apples, pears, cherries and berries should be cooked to break down the pectin, which can be very irritating to the digestive tract.

As time goes by, move up in complexity with food and texture. At about six to eight months, vegetables may be introduced, one at a time so that any adverse reactions may be observed. Carrots, sweet potatoes and beets are excellent first choices. All vegetables should be cooked (steamed preferably), mashed and mixed with a liberal amount of fat, such as butter or coconut oil, to provide nutrients to aid in digestion.

Early introduction to different tastes is always a good plan to prevent finickiness. Feed your little one a touch of buttermilk, yogurt or kefir from time to time to familiarize them with the sour taste. Lacto-fermented roots, like sweet potato or taro, are another excellent food for babies to add at this time.1

Answer 4

at 7 months the dairy in that can cause stomach upset and constipation. my son is 11 months and i am still weaning him to milk!! Give him anything else you eat if he can eat it. the cheese thing i would wait a few more months for to be on the safe side.

Answer 5

My mother always told me it was okay to give them cheese and yogurt a few months before they turned one because it wasn't made the same way as milk. I still didn't do it though. Ask your doctor if it's okay for him or try it out and see how he reacts. Just remember to limit new foods to one every 3-5 days. Good luck!

Answer 6

my sisters doctor told her that you should not give a child cheese until the 13 months old because it is harsh on the tummy and causes constpation even if you give a slice or 2.

Answer 7

At 7 months old my son was eating pinto beans, cornbread, okra etc. We just put it in the blender for him. He was also on whole milk.
I wouldn't give him too much cheese though because it tends to cause constipation.

Answer 8

well if he has teeth then maybe but keep a close eye on him..other wise mashed potatos,just about anything u can purray in a blender a lil so its easier to diggest for him babies have a weak diggestive system. but stay away from meats for now though

Answer 9

I think it would be best not too. Their stomachs are still sensitive and can give them colic. Maybe after your baby is 1 then it's ok to start introducing to lactose :) Hope I helped.
