Do you like cottage cheese and do you feed it to your LO? I'm thinking of introduction this to my 8.5 month old. I cant rememebr how it tastes though, its been so long. is it like cream cheese or yogurt?
-
The idea of it kind of grosses me out and I've never tried it by itself, but I sneak it into casseroles, pasta dishes and enchiladas b/c I know it's healthy. But it looks so yucky...
-
I like cottage cheese, but it's a dairy product (can they have that before 1 year old? i have no idea)....i like it with pineapples and such.

I like cottage cheese. We offered it to LO at 6.5 months old. She wasn't a fan. It's not like cream cheese. I don't eat yogurt, so I don't know how to compare it to that.
-
@blackbird: yes they can have some dairy like cheese & yogurt before the age of one, but not milk.
I think I will just have to buy a little tub of it and see how she likes it.
-
@tororojo: haha yeah it is lumpy and weird looking, cant believe i forgot how it tastes lol. @Weagle: wow you dont eat yogurt?
-
i love cottage cheese! i want to give it to DS(8 months) but haven't gotten around to it yet, and he had the stomach flu last week and isn't handeling dairy the greatest right now, so we are holding off for a couple weeks. he's had dairy before though, cheese, cream cheese
-
I think it's disgusting, but a toddler I nannied for once LOVED it. She would eat an entire bowl and beg for more.
-
Oh in that case, she may really like it! I didn't know that some dairy is ok. the texture kind of reminds me of baby food since it's a little chunky but not too chunky
-
@blackbird: yes the only reason why dairy milk is banned is because of the worry that people will replace formula/breastmilk with cows milk which doesnt provide enough nutrients for child under 1. Its explained better here http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/tipYogurt.htm

@Mrsbells: Yeah, it's a texture thing. Too slimy
-
I eat it by the bucket. Loved it as a kid too. It's a great source of calcium!
Also: I put paprika on it. YUM.
-
Love it! Apparently since I was a baby because my dad always says I was a weird kid that loved cottage cheese (he thinks its gross).
I prefer small curd and Breakstones is my favorite. I think the consistency is a little thicker like greek yougurt, but it's chunky.Love it with fresh pineapple and peaches!
-
Delicious. It's like creamy cheese -- closer to cream cheese taste-wise. Not at all like yogurt.
-
I love cottage cheese and fed it to my kids as baby food prior to 1 yr. They liked it with fruit or purees. They don't like it as much these days (i think it's a texture thing) but it was a great way to get fat into them early on. I would also blend it up with meat or veggies and they loved it.

Thanks everyone!! I will be giving it a try starting next week
