1 Answer

A. Yes, you can give certain dairy products to a 9-month-old baby, but with some important precautions: ✅ Safe Dairy Products for a 9-Month-Old Baby: Curd (Yogurt): Plain, unsweetened homemade or pasteurized yogurt is gentle on the stomach and rich in calcium and probiotics. Paneer (Cottage Cheese): Soft, fresh paneer in small mashed pieces can be introduced. Cheese: Mild cheese (like mozzarella or pasteurized cheddar) in small quantities is okay. Ghee (Clarified Butter): A small amount can be added to baby food for flavor and energy. ❌ Avoid Cow's Milk as a Main Drink: Cow’s milk should not replace breast milk or formula before 1 year of age because: It’s low in iron and may cause iron deficiency. It’s harder to digest for babies under one year. It can irritate the baby’s kidneys. ✅ How to Introduce Dairy Safely: Start with small quantities. Watch for any signs of allergy (rashes, diarrhea, vomiting). Stick to pasteurized and unsweetened products. If your baby tolerates these well and has no family history of dairy allergy, you can continue offering these foods as part of a balanced diet. Always consult your pediatrician if you’re unsure or if your baby has had any digestive or allergic issues before.
