Cottage Cheese

6+ moDairyContains dairy

Allergen: dairy

Cottage Cheese contains a common allergen (dairy). Current guidelines recommend introducing allergens early (from 6 months) as this may reduce allergy risk. Introduce on its own, offer a small amount first, and wait 2-3 days before introducing another new allergen. Watch for signs of allergic reaction: hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. Consult your pediatrician if your baby is at high risk for allergies.

How to Prepare

Choose full-fat, low-sodium variety. Serve pre-loaded on a spoon or mixed with fruit. The small curds are easy for babies to manage.

Nutritional Highlights

High in protein and calcium with less sodium than many cheeses. Contains casein protein which is slowly digested, keeping baby full longer.
