So, I have tried giving LO a cheddar cheese stick and cheddar cheese slices, but she won't eat either one! What cheese(s) will your LO eat?
-
Laughing cow wedges, sometimes the baby bel rounds.
For some reason, he hasn't liked the cheese sticks, in either mozzarella or the mixed cheddar/jack combination
-
Chloe loves cheese and eats any and all.
She even eats asiago cheese, which my brother and I call "stinky cheese" hahah
-
Mine will eat any and all cheeses, even really stinky ones like Roquefort. I think it comes with his half French genes.
-
@looch: Ooooh - I have both of those! I will have to try those too!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: @lamariniere: I am struggling to get her to eat other sources of dairy other than milk . . . so far she will hold cheese, but that's about it!
-
I slice up cheddar for her. She also eats shredded colby and Mexican blend. She'll eat just about any. I've even given her goat cheese.
-
She loves white American, parmasan, cheese sticks, string cheese, any finely shredded cheese.
She's a cheese lover! -
@MaisyMay: I also haven't tried shredded! I will tonight!
-
@MsLipGloss: Chloe *really* got into cheese when I bought shredded cheese. I told her to sprinkle it on her dinner (we had mexican) and she thought it was SO COOL to "help" make dinner. Now we call it Sprinkle Cheese haha
That got her into cheese sticks, then whole cheese slices. White American seems to be her favorite.
I can't get her to eat a grilled cheese, though. Go figure!
-
@MsLipGloss: I'll put it on beans or pasta and she loves it. Because it can be messy, I'll usually just feed it to her off of my fork, not let her use her hands.
-
@MsLipGloss: She won't eat any type of cheese! She won't even try it, I once stuck a piece in her mouth and she had a meltdown! Usually she will just spit it out if she doesn't like it.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: *sprinkle* cheese - love it!
-
Mozzarella string cheese!
-
Cheddar, American, and string! My son loves parmesan cheese too. He sprinkles it on everything (even ice cream. blech).
-
@MsLipGloss: we started DS with mozzarella cheese sticks, they are pretty mild and he looooved them.
-
Have you tried mixing some cheese with pastina, if she eats that?
-
@looch: She won't touch pasta, other than to pick it up to throw it over her high chair. But I keep trying. She recently ate some fried chicken (not the skin, just the meat), which is the first real food other than a piece of bread or a baby cookie/cracker that she has eaten!
-
String cheese and Colby slices!
-
DS won't eat it these days, but he used to love fresh mozzarella when he first started finger foods. Nice and soft and mild! He'll eat grilled cheese with american or colby jack, but he won't go near a slice of plain cheese.
-
My LO loves cheese. For awhile the only foods she would really eat were cheese and yogurt. She likes baby bels, cubes of cheddar, and cream cheese the most.
-
Have you tried jack cheese? It's much milder than cheddar.
I also recommend offering shredded cheese. Although one time LO spit it out because she was expecting noodles.
Mine loves jack and mozzarella.
-
@MsLipGloss: Have you tried different types of pasta? LO wasn't touching spaghetti, but would go for the mini shells. Babies are so weird.
-
@Freckles: I've haven't tried shells yet - just straight noodles and spirals
-
Like her mama, LO loves any cheese she can get her baby-hands on!
-
@MsLipGloss: try little pastina!
-
@looch: will do!
-
None.
LO is allergic to cow's milk. I fed him soy cheese for the past year thinking that it was fine. I finally noticed a reaction last week, and of course there is milk in it. Sigh. It's even difficult to find soy yogurt without cow milk protein.
-
None here, supposedly she's not allergic to cow's milk, but she has a reaction every time we give it to her so I avoid it unless it's in very small doses (like in a casserole!)
-
None, the poor girl's allergic
I was toying with having her try goat's cheese, but it's not really worth all the fuss for now.
-
@LuLu Mom: Mg DD technically has an intolerance, so her prick tests come out negative.
-
@SugarplumsMom: my LO has a reaction to cow's milk/cheese but doesn't have any issue with goat cheese
-
Oh gosh. Every cheese! Brie, cheddar, mozzarella, feta, bleu cheese, grueyre...you name it, she'll eat it.
-
I give LO ricotta cheese. That's the only cheese that he'll consistently eat right now. I usually mix in spinach or another vegetable and tomato sauce or salsa.
-
only cheddar cheese!
for some reason she gags when I try to give her a mozerella cheese stick.
she has also tried and liked muenster. -
Only mozzerella string cheese (white) or mozerella sticks. She will not eat a mozzerella stick if there is cheese coming OUT of it though.
-
All the cheese. Ate her first bleu tonight. It a hit.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: She ate *sprinkle* cheese! Now, she tossed a little more over the side than she ate, but it took her approximately 20 seconds from first sight to first taste!
Thank you all so so much for your suggestions! It's always good to have a few extra tricks up your sleeve!
I never thought I would worry about anything more than I worried about her sleep (well, and surgery, but that's a horse of a different color!), but now it's her non-milk protein intake and solids in general! -
@MsLipGloss: That is awesome!
If it isn't one thing, it is another! Food is my biggest stress right now, so much so that we're going to see a nutritionist on Monday.
-
@looch: *gah* It is surprisingly stressful! We are supposed to see an allergist due to her skin reaction to scrambled eggs . . . and between that and gagging until she vomits, well, *augh.* I want her to enjoy eating, but I also worry about how much (and what) she is eating . . . she is super super busy and is right in the 20-25% percentile for weight, so I worry when I don't feel like she is eating enough.
