Cheese for 10 month old?

Question

I always hear to not introduce dairy products until a year. My little one however is loving being able to feed himself. In my mother's old baby book that I sometimes reference it suggests shredded cheese among other finger foods as early as when a baby starts showing they are ready and able to self feed. It's not like he's able to self feed to the point of nutritional value yet. I still breastfeed on demand and feed him pureed baby food 2-3 times a day. So would offering a little pile of shredded cheese be ok?

Answer

I've never heard of not introducing dairy till 1.
I started off with cream cheese on toast at 6 months and then petite filous and sticks of cheese. I also used cow's milk in her cereal.
My daughter loves them all she's over a year now and we never had problems.

Answer

Pretty much everything after 6 months is ok except raw honey (and obviously use your judgement- maybe nothing super spicy if that’s not how you normally eat). 
Unless baby showed signs of allergy or there is a family history there is no need for bland food or even introducing one by one. My first was not too much into solids but I gave her bites of all types of things after 6 months. I still did some purées and she wasn’t interested at all. My 2nd went straight to table food (baby led weaning) and would have little pieces of our food. She’s much more varied with her food choices now at 3 and was less picky.

Answer

I've never heard that. Only whole milk is off limits until one. Both of my children started eating table foods (including cheese and yogurts) at six months old.

Answer

Never heard of they. My daughter loved yogurt and cheese cubes before a year

Answer

I think the only dairy to avoid until 1 is cow's milk. Yogurt, cheese etc would be fine starting at 6 months. Go slow though in case baby does have a reaction or finds it hard to digest. 
I personally avoid cream and milk as they are too hard on my digestion. I do eat cheese though.

Answer

Baby can definitely have dairy,

Answer

Also never heard of that. My daughter’s favorite thing was small curd cottage cheese. She ate it almost every day. They just say don’t switch them from formula/breast milk to whole milk until 1yr.

Answer

My 10 month old has gotten cheese since about 7 months. 💁🏼‍♀️
