Yes, Parmesan cheese comes from cow's milk, and that is what a child needs to grow (and it helps make yours and the baby's bones stronger).

If you are worried about Listeria (that can cause miscarriages), which is sometimes found in cheeses, Parmesan is not on the list. Parmesan is considered safe. Listeria tends to be found in softer, moister processed foods. For instance, blue cheese is not recommended during pregnancy. Neither are Hot Dogs or bologna. Cream cheese is an exception, as long as it was made from pasteurized milk. Pasteurized soft cheese like cream cheese and cottage cheese are in the clear. You need to worry more about soft mold ripened cheeses. Keep in mind, in countries like the US, the chances of Listeria are very low, but doctors recommend the precaution anyway. It is only for 40 weeks, so why take the chance? Your doctor can tell you all about which foods have a higher risk factor.
