Would you give NikNaks to a 14 month old baby?

[ColourfulHairbands]

Baby already has the odd Wotsit and Quavers but what’s your opinion on NikNaks? This is the orange pack - Nice ‘N’ Spicy flavour btw.

YABU - it’s fine, I’d give it to a 14 month old
YANBU - I wouldn’t give it

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BABY CRISPS.

THEY'RE JUST CRISPS.

My local little one stop store sells all 3 flavours, they also do them in the share bag sizes.

All of the above and any crisps - chock full of salt 🧂 - not for babies.

What about crisps made from babies?

No it’s too high in salt and it’s a choking hazard.

I did wonder 😂

Well, that's just a ridiculous statement.

Can you pronounce all these ingredients and have them in your cupboard?

skimmed milk, whey product, palm oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil), lactose, galacto-oligosaccharides from lactose, fish oil1, potassium chloride, Mortierella alpina-oil, choline, sodium citrate, L-phenylalanine, calcium salts of orthophosphoric acid, L-tryptophan, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, L-histidine, zinc sulphate, ferrous sulphate, vitamin C, vitamin E, niacin, pantothenic acid, cupric sulphate, vitamin A, vitamin B1, potassium iodate, vitamin B6, folic acid, sodium selenite, vitamin K, manganese sulphate, vitamin D, D-biotin, vitamin B12

That's baby formula!!

@Hugasauras cant stand crisps made from babies. They use lavender baby powder for flavouring and it’s rubbish. Not a patch on a nik nak.

How much salt do you imagine is in a single niknak???

How much salt do you think is in a single niknak??

The salt thing I get but why would they be a choking hazard? Many parents use baby led weaning and will be eating things like this well before 14 months.

Waiting for Pom bears to come up. Yay or nay?

We recently discovered cheese and onion Pom Bears. A delicacy indeed.

Surely once you're into wotsits and quavers this is a bit like asking: my child likes a drag on my fag and the odd line, is it ridiculous if he has some weed 😂

Honestly if they're eating shite, don't split turds.

No. Be careful with crisps

They're a choking hazard

Nik naks are solid

I feel like there are a lot of parents of PFBs on this thread 😂
DC1 (now 3.5yo) was all homemade everything with nary a pouch, jar or packet in sight. One tiny square of homemade cake on his first birthday but otherwise strictly no processed sugar or added salt. Though he did eat a spider once.
DC2 is 8 months old. In the last couple of weeks DC1 has shared with her a ginger biscuit, a quaver, a bit of battered fish, an oatcake, and a sushi roll, and has had his attempts to share his ice cream, olives, and anchovies (not together!) thwarted.
I really, really wouldn't fret about the niknaks OP! Good on her for trying something a little spicy 🔥

So is cheese and beef and carrot sticks and apple and pork ...

What's your point?

I'd be more concerned over uncut grapes and tomatoes etc

I feel like I am living in a parallel universe. It's just a bloody crisp. All 3 of mine are alive and kicking after earing multiple crisps ( alongside the usual 3 meals a day) and healthier snacks. I love a niknak and would happily share with my toddler

A few of them are fine. Honestly they will end up eating crap when they are older anyway. A few crisps on occasion is OK.

I have one son who is into healthy food and hates processed food (unless its ice cream) and one that would avoid it at every opportunity. I fed them both the same. They just have different tastes.

My 15 month old DD has had them, she loves them. Her diet is healthy and there isn't anything I've given her that she doesn't like (other than mustard), she has a packet of crisps with her dinner when I do her and brother a picnic dinner. Normally pom bears but depends what I've bought that week

A few to try? Sure. Definitely not a packet though.

No way

Salt content in;
100g of pombears 1.7g
100g of niknaks 1.8g
100g of quavers 2.4g
100g of wotsits 1.58 g

Why don't you just give the kid a pile of salt on a plate and a teaspoon!!! No 14 month old should be eating any kind of adult crisps at all.

Not regularly. But occasionally, why not?

Everything in moderation.
