Safety Information
How to Serve Fromage blanc to a 6–9 Months Old
How to Cut
Cutting is not required for fromage blanc. At this age, serve plain, pasteurized fromage blanc directly from a spoon, or mix it into purees or mashed foods for added creaminess and protein. If serving as a dip, ensure the food used for dipping is age-appropriate and safe for your baby. Always avoid any additions such as honey for children under 12 months.
Serving Instructions
For babies 6 to 9 months, offer 1-2 tablespoons (15-30g/0.5-1 oz) of plain, full-fat, pasteurized fromage blanc as part of a meal providing a variety of nutrients. Pair with iron-rich foods like pureed lentils or meat, and vitamin C sources like mashed sweet potato or fruit, to support absorption and balanced nutrition. Do not add honey or sugar. Always supervise closely and watch for any sign of milk allergy.

How to Serve Fromage blanc to a 9–18 Months Old
How to Cut
Still no cutting needed. Fromage blanc can continue to be served straight from a spoon or incorporated into mashed fruits, cooked vegetables, or grains. For self-feeding practice, preload a spoon and hand it to your child, or offer fromage blanc as a spread on strips of soft bread or age-appropriate pancakes. Watch for any signs of milk allergy, and avoid chunks of bread or hard foods that may present a choking hazard.
Serving Instructions
Serve 2-3 tablespoons (30-45g/1-1.5 oz) of fromage blanc as part of a balanced meal. Pair with whole grains, soft fruits, or vegetables. Continue to ensure iron-rich foods are present, and rotate diverse sources of protein and vitamins. Encourage self-feeding by offering fromage blanc with preloaded spoons or as a spread on soft, age-appropriate breads or pancakes. Avoid honey and supervise for potential milk allergy.

How to Serve Fromage blanc to a 18+ Months Old
How to Cut
Fromage blanc remains a spreadable or spoon-friendly option. At this age, children can help themselves with a spoon or dip soft foods into the fromage blanc. If offering as a spread, continue to use thin layers on soft bread, muffins, or pancakes to minimize choking risks. Fromage blanc can also be used in smoothies, mixed with fruit, or as a component in age-appropriate salads. Remain attentive to any reactions indicating a milk allergy, and keep honey away from children under 12 months.
Serving Instructions
Offer 2-4 tablespoons (30-60g/1-2 oz) of fromage blanc as part of meals or snacks. Combine with a variety of fresh fruits, whole grains, or mixed into savory dishes. It can now be used in smoothies, as a topping for pancakes, or in small salads. Continue to provide diverse protein and iron sources. Monitor for ongoing tolerance and supervise as always to prevent choking or allergic reactions.

When to Talk to Your Pediatrician
Every child is different, and your pediatrician knows your baby best. If your baby has known allergies, was born prematurely, or has any feeding difficulties, consult your doctor before introducing new foods. If you ever observe signs of an allergic reaction — such as hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing — seek emergency medical care immediately.
Important Safety Disclaimer
Every child develops chewing and swallowing skills at their own pace. The preparation methods shown are general guidelines; you must always evaluate your individual child's ability before serving. By offering this food, you agree to the following:
- Choking & Preparation: All foods can pose a choking hazard. You are strictly responsible for modifying food sizes and textures to match your child's skills. Always physically inspect this food for hidden hazards (e.g., bones, pits, seeds, splinters, or tough skins) before serving.
- Food Handling: Ensure all ingredients are properly washed, stored, and cooked to safe internal temperatures to prevent foodborne illness. Never serve raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs to an infant.
- Allergens: Introduce any new food one at a time. Observe your child closely for signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing) and seek emergency medical care immediately if symptoms occur.
- Strict Supervision: 100% active, arm's-length adult supervision is required at all times while your child is eating or interacting with food.
