Cheese & Yoghurt

Hi,

According to the colourful plunket list you can offer cheese and yoghurt from 7 months.

Just wondering what types of yoghurt are good to try and when it says cheese, did you just try a bit of grated cheese in with a meal?

WE have been giving our boy cheese sticks to chew on for a good few weeks now and he loves it but you could grate it too.
I just started with yoghurt and i get the mai piti ones or fresh n fuity first yoghurts. He loves them. Got to make sure he has his veges first otherwise he just want yoghurt.

That plunkett list from Watties has changed in the last year. It is now suggesting that you give potential allergens to children at a younger age. The only reason for the change is that there was not enough scientific proof that these foods are high allergy risks. They are even suggesting that you can give lentils as a stage 1 food and lentils are closely related to peanuts and can cause the same reaction. Personally, I prefer to be safe rather than sorry. The orginal list that we had with Dominic suggests that cheese be given once a child reaches stage 3 (8-9 months).

I have started mixing in plain unsweetened easiyo yoghurt into other foods, for example with fruit (pear, banana etc.) and baby rice or polenta.

Haven't done cheese yet but I think in the grated form it goes in most veggies!

did they say what was wrong with weetbix? We give henry it. What was i meant to give him for breakfast? baby cereal made him puky. We give it with cooked apple.
