Can I eat this?

Hi all, I am 5 weeks and and having serious cravings for feta and philidelphia cheese, I had heard somewhere that it wasn't good for the baby but then a friend said it was absolutely fine, please can someone let me know as I don;t want o harm my child by eating something that I can easily avoid!

Thanks,
Melissa

I think that if the wrapping says that the cheese has been "Pausterized" then its fine to eat.  You are not supossed to eat unpauterissed soft cheeses.

I am NO doctor.. But I eat Bleu Cheese a LOT. and I have had feta a few times on salad.. I think you should check with your Dr.  It seems the beliefs vary from person to person and Dr. to Dr.
