Feta Cheese

Feta cheese can be introduced around 9-12 months. It's tangy and crumbly with a strong flavor.

How to serve at this age

9-12 months: Crumble small amounts into other foods. 12-24 months: Include in salads, eggs, or pasta dishes.

Nutrition

Good source of calcium and protein. Contains B vitamins and phosphorus. Lower in fat than many cheeses.

A note from the editors

Rinse feta to reduce saltiness. Mix with milder foods to balance the tangy flavor.

Good to know

High in sodium - use sparingly. Dairy is a common allergen. Choose pasteurized feta for safety.
