Until recently, pregnant women were told to avoid soft cheese altogether during pregnancy. These days, the recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is to make sure any soft cheese you eat has a label clearly stating that it's made from pasteurized milk.
As long as it is pasturized. Unpasturized soft cheeses are bad, but unless you buy a lot of imported soft cheeses, you don't have anything to worry about. All cheese made in the US and sold in grocery stores are pasturized. I'm not sure about farmer's markets and that sort of thing though.
As long as it's pasturised it's safe. Check the label before you buy it. When cheeses or milk is pasturised it's heated to kill any bacteria. If in doubt or it's not on the label, don't buy it.
Lol I ate it!! I couldnt live without it, it was one of my cravings, I ate it on a spoon!! My son came out just fine! Healthy 7 pounds 12.3 ounces at birth!
Are you lactose intolerant? If not, then yes! The ';normal'; store brands are pasturized, so they're fine. A lot of soft cheeses tend not to be, which can be dangerous in pregnancy.
Absolutely - you can have any dairy product, AS LONG AS it's pasteurised. Chekc the label if you're unsure.
I sure hope so- I just ate a bagel with cream cheese this morning! I havent read it in any of my baby books as being bad.
