nothing wrong with babybel for an 8 month old

mine had it at that age and survived, its only milk!

Its fine, but I think that babybel quite high in salt so one a day only.

I don't think they are high in salt, they're a normal cheese only smaller. They're not a processed cheese like cheese strings, etc.

Am still at a dinenr lady who told my DD that they were "rubbish/junk food".

This one has salt content on it, not sure what RDA for babies is.

My dd loves cheese, (one of her first words ) and she really liked the babybels i think because they are easy to hold, i think one a day would be fine, it is a source of calcium and protein after all
