Our pedi gave us the "okay" at our 9 month well-visit. We don't do cheese sticks though...I just cut up cheese into tiny cubes for him to self-feed. He LOVES it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-830896 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 16:46:48 +0000 misolee 830896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks for all the answers.</p> <p>LO just turned 8 months last week and I think she's ready too. </p> <p>@yoursilverlining I just bought the exact same ones (for myself!) I should try a little bit to see if she likes it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829837 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 12:10:34 +0000 MsMini 829837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started cheese at about 7 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829700 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:44:58 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 829700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just started some cheese last night (8 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829225 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:05:21 +0000 mrsjazz 829225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Those are the same cheesesticks we buy for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829223 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:04:46 +0000 loveisstrange 829223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: We by "sticks" of British cheddar and C loves them! They're not super processed.</p> <p>C LOVES cheese. We definitely didnt wait until a year. We got an all-clear for everything except nuts and honey at 7 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829213 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:02:11 +0000 sorrycharlie 829213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha LO loves american cheese. I haven't given her sticks, but little bites of a slice of american cheese and she goes crazy. she's 8 months and hasn't reacted to it.</p> <p>she's also had yobaby yogurt and loves it! my ped told me 6 months for all food, except peanut butter, honey and fresh strawberries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829210 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:01:48 +0000 regberadaisy 829210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: thanks! Honestly, I never thought much about it bc we usually buy cheese from the deli. But DH made a comment about it when we saw it on daycare's monthly menu. Needless to say LO does not eat daycare food!</p> <p>Def helpful to have for snacks when we're out. Which is why I'm starting to look into it. I know local dairy farms make cheese products. How much do you pay for the Horizon ones? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829198 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:00:25 +0000 Bao 829198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started cheese around 7 months and LOVES it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829185 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:57:44 +0000 mrsjazz 829185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave her a little cheese around 10 months but it was just a small taste. We started letting her eat more at 1 year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829176 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:55:40 +0000 yoursilverlining 829176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: We buy these ones:<br /> <a href="http://www.horizondairy.com/products/cheese-sticks/mozzarella-cheese-sticks/" rel="nofollow">http://www.horizondairy.com/products/cheese-sticks/mozzarella-cheese-sticks/</a></p> <p>They also colby sticks, too.</p> <p>ETA: I totally agree with you that cheese sticks are a pretty processed form of cheese. LO eats a lot of real cheese, and sometimes get cheese sticks (they are handy if we need to run errands and she needs a snack to have in the car). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829166 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:53:45 +0000 Lindsay05 829166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We introduced cheese really early! Probably around 7-7.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829161 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:51:46 +0000 yoursilverlining 829161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely didn't wait a year. LO *loves* cheese and has been eating cheese almost daily at daycare and home since maybe.....8 months? I can't remember exactly. We started with softer cheeses (like goat cheese), now she eats all cheeses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829160 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:51:38 +0000 regberadaisy 829160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have not yet simply bc most of the "cheese' sticks out there are so over processed.</p> <p>I wonder if anyone has a reco for some that are not or actually have <i>cheese</i> in them?</p> <p>ETA: I also feel it's a very "american" thing to give cheese a lot to toddlers! So I'm less anxious to start cheese as well and coupled with M is just recently cleared on dairy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-give-cheese-sticks#post-829149 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:50:04 +0000 misolee 829149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the books say after one year to introduce cheese sticks (bc it's cows milk?) but I'm just curious. When did you introduce cheese sticks/cheese? </p>
