Hi there, I'm not an expert, I did give my DD the odd one of these at 7 months, she loved to squish it herself in her hand. I think they have got salt in but not sure how it compares to normal cheese and the amount of calcium and protein in them is good (I think!). I am sure that as long as you don't give her them every day and the rest of her diet is balanced then it should be fine. Some people would say the normal cream cheese was better for them, like philadelphia or something, I think it is less processed, DD loves that too!!.

IRC you're better off with babybel as there is alot of other crap in the triangles. If you're talking about the solid ones rather than the spread.

Dairylea do hard cheese triangles - a bit like babybel that ds loves - he wasnt as keen on the squeezey ones - think they were a strong.

I'm sure in moderation they will be fine - but I'm no expert

Personally I would give proper cheese. I started my 2 off with Edam and they now love quite strong cheddar and parmesan.

I grew up on Dairylea and laughing Cow and hated proper cheese until quite recently.

Give them the decent stuff not that crappy shit!
