I m looking for unsalted (or low salt) cheese to introduce to my 9 month old. Can you recommend which one?
Thanks.

just out of interest, what are you thinking of cooking for bubs that has onion and garlic?
i haven't done so before but i don't imagine there would be any problem. but don't quote me on that!
as for cheese, my bubs eats cottage and ricotta cheese. just from it's taste, doesn't seem to be excessively salty but i'm sure there is some salt in there naturally.

I used both in cooking their veggies etc - just try one at a time to make sure no reaction - but otherwise absolutely fine.
Cheese - mine loved (not anymore for some reason) cottage cheese with banana and avocado (sounds crazy right? but try it); I also give them feta in cooking (they dont like it by itself).

can't remember when i did garlic but pretty sure onions were introduced by 9 months....
cheese i used cheddar (not singles, the one in blocks) and used philly cream cheese in cooking.

mine hated cottage cheese, but loved cheddar... I just bought the cheapest whole fat cheddar from CitySuper/ParkNShop deli counter! I think it was australian or new zealand...

smsm - got in supermarket - sometimes it is hard to find - but places like Olivers and 360 always have it.
woonwoon - am pretty sure there is some salt in all of these - read the label! tho - cottage cheese maybe not? and yes, ours had philadelphia in little sandwiches from about 9 months i think.

there will be some level of salt.
woonwoonbee, go to cold storage and buy those cheddar cheese in blocks...i started off with the new zealand mild cheddar...slice it up yourself, serve it with some grapes for a afternoon snack.

It's better not to introduce the foods with strong flavours to the babies at the early stage. Otherwise they don't like the foods with plain flavour afterwards. Besides, onion is a gas producing food that may cause colic to some sensitive babies.
The sodium intake of a baby of 9mth is around 300mg. 20oz (60ml) of breast milk already contributes nearly 100mg. Check with the packaging for the appropriate food.

I dunno. I think kids can handle it if you go gently. My daughter eats food with ginger, cumin, teriyaki sauce, garlic, (a little) chili. But she still loves crackers and cereal, which are quite bland.
As for the onions, it depends. I would assume that once you start giving onions to kids, they are past the typical colic period. Also some kids can eat onions/garlic and some cannot. Same with most foods. My daughters can't have banana for example. Well, they can but they won't poop for days after that.
