Are baby bells ok for toddlers?

[HelpwithNameNeeded]

Are they just pure cheese? I'm trying to to think of new snacks for dd

Stupid question I guess then

Do you mean Babybel? I think your thread title was misleading

My almost 3yo lives on them.

Tehy are just cheeese. Not processed or anything so as I understand it it s fine.

thoughtyou wanted to put a bell on your toddler

my ds nearly 4 lives on them and has done for a few years, he cant have lunch without one. I think they are just cheese

yes

they are just a small piece of edam

(not yucky processed stuff like cheese strings)

ROFL

I am very tired, well thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it

My lo loves them, not processed so far as I know so she can happily munch to her hearts content!

Fab, thanks everyone

rofl at your thread title.

What, really tiny tinkly things as opposed to those big huge ones?

Bit camp, no?

I think bell ringing for toddlers probably is a no no.

Ds has loved Babybels since he was a toddler. Normal cheese rather than over processed.

Yes mini baby bells not the huge ones, those are for cows doncha know

Just clicked on the title to see what great musical invention I've been depriving my now almost-toddler of all these months!

mini Babybel Ingredients:
milk, salt (1.8%), milk ferments, vegetarian rennet
No added preservatives, colours or flavourings.
Source: Bel-UK See site for nutritional info.

Probably best not to have too many in a day.

If putting a baby bell around a toddlers neck - don't tie a cord... use one of those quick release plastic clip things... cords pose a strangulation risk!

I started ds on babybels at about 7 months - he loves them and they are great to give as a snack or after something quite bad for their teeth such as dried fruit or juice (cheese helps to neutralise the acid in your mouth).

We still buy a bag of 12 a week now - DP has one in his lunchbox every work day.

PS here's a tip: don't let them self-peel. They find the wax strangely and attractively edible.

I'll remember that Wilf, dd seems to find the same attraction with satsuma peel

From the website: The wax "is a special paraffin-based wax approved for use in food. It is coloured with dyes of plant origin. it is not recommended you eat the wax, it is non-toxic and a small accidental ingestion should not cause any harm."

So don't panic when your toddler does have a nibble of the wax... but agree with WilfSell... best to remove the wax prior to giving to pre-school aged children (or even some of the older children!)

Wilf, mine find the wax particularly fun to mash up until warm and sticky and then stick in the most odd places for me to find once they have gone hard and left a nice big grease stain on the wall/carpet/new jumper

Lol my son uses the wax like plasticine and makes me a little man out of his, every flaming day! I wish he'd get inventive and at least make me a flower!
