We gave yoghurt from 6-7 months and she loved it although it did some funky stuff to her poo!
We started cheese and a little milk on her breakfast at 10-ish months, we did the cheese in mashed sweet potato and potato, some white sauce and pasta/rice, things like potato bake etc, and a slice or two to nibble on sometimes too, but I get a bit funny with giving her a lot of cheese as its so high in salt! She does LOVE toasted cheese sandwichs, and will eat half a sadnwich and then try to seagull mine!
She now drinks some straight cows milk from a sippy cup. Has since 11.5months. We don't push it though, its there if she wants it and sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn't. I like to give her the option.

Limeslice - if she has a bit of a reaction to eggplant - just be careful wiht the other night cap veges. It is not unusual for a reaction to these vege to occur... Just in case you weren't aware.
That is one of the reasons it surprised me FC!
She has had no other issues with any nightshade, LOVES tomatoes like they are going out of fashion.
She has trouble digesting red capsicum though, that always comes out the other end but she loves eating it and has no reactions. We only gave her eggplant at about 14 months. My girl is odd! lol
Thanks hun!
Aw, poor allergy people - don't what-if. If it makes you feel any better I was formula fed, introduced to all solids early (including all the scary ones) and I am fine-diddly-ine. My friend was breastfed, introduced to solids later and is allergic to pretty much everything. If it was vice versa I know people would say 'must have been the solids' - but in the end it all came down to genetics.
With regards to dairy let's not forget Europe has used dairy for a loooong time without the problems we experience today as with other common modern allergens (we always seem to forget them and talk about the goat and soy countries)
FC - You need to work with my boss. He is the MD of a new chain of healthy fast food restaurants (GF, vegan options etc) but he had a phase where he was right into the evils of dairy and pasteurization like you. You sure you're not my boss in disguise as a woman
Sarah - The only issue with using Europe as a comparison is that they don't pasturise and homogenise ALL their milk like we do. Many cheese are made form raw milk, many people still drink raw milk. Their butters are made from raw milk for a large part. (and they dont all get sick from eating untreated milk either lol)
That true LimeSlice it's a bit insane we don't have the option here - and unless you're pregnant or have immune-deficiencies then I agree the risks of raw milk are negligible. But they do seem determined to pump chemicals, GM, add hormones or do something weird in as much of our foods as they can (Sorry Heaven for getting sidetracked)
