A member asked:

Im 29 weeks old and i eat cheddar cheese often, is that ok for the baby, will it cause any harm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely to matter: As long as the cheese is safe (pasturized), your body will sort out the babies needs and your snack food doesn't matter much. Unpasteurized products have some risk of passing infection to baby.
