Wotsits for babies?
Does anyone know if these are too high salt or high additives for ten month baby to eat?
A Mum is giving them and wanted to check it out
Thanks

hope not my 15 month old grandson loves them, bad nana

That's why they like them though...isn't it? The salt! If is a standard bag I would think that salt content is too high for babies.
-
No more wotsits in this house then. Best start reading the packaging now - OMG I don't want to turn into a packet ingredient scrutiniser - my dd dallies around enough in the shop without me adding to it.
-
They are so yummy that they must be bad! I'm not sure how to read salt labels - does anyone know what is considered a healthy amount?

Hi all it's a tricky one and I'm all for everything in moderation and a small handful on occasion should be ok

It's the amount of colouring that astounds me. On the day we had a new carpet fitted, my son (about 18 months old at the time) ate some Wotsits, sicked them up on the floor and we never did get the stain out of the carpet!

Mouse I can't stand the colouring in the baby's food jars anything orange takes a pack of wet wipes to get off x

This may help but it is so hard to calculate unless we scrutinise the labels on packages...that is if we remember to take our glasses along and have time to read the small print

Well a bag of wotsits has 0.3g salt. Personally I wouldn't be giving a 10mth old a whole bag of them but I would be happy to give them a few. There's more salt in things that we just don't even think of.

Could you suggest Organix carrot stix as an alternative - no salt or additives although still that ghastly orange dust?
-
Just checking my cupboard - salt/sodium content......Slice of brown soda bread 0.18g....A Warburtons Thin 0.41g.....Slice of white bread 0.36g...Weetabix .26g...Rice Crispies (30g serving) 0.34g....Corn Flakes 0.38g. 6g is the GDA for an adult.

When I had my youngest son I fed him the organic baby dinners due to the fact his brother before him was allergic to everything so I erred on caution. OMG was everything ORANGE, I don't think there was a dinner that didn't stain, his bibs became an eye sore. My friend would forever say "Oh s*** I wonder if his stomach is orange".

Rice cakes, they also melt in the mouth

Rice cakes are good. Cracker bread also melts in mouth, not sure on salt content though x

Thanks you don't mean crackers like Jacobs cream crackers do you? (By cracker bread)

Pombears aren't they supposed to be more natural in ingredients?
