It is so versatile and you can use it for so many recipes or just eat it straight from the packet for a snack. Our kids love to come home from school and have a laughing cow cheese. Its easy and soft and comes in perfect little triangles.

    Great nutritious snack for the whole family. We make these with basil and crackers for with wine. Or straight with a side of sultanas, apples and rice crackers for toddlers.

  • Perfect for the whole family

    I love The Laughing Cow. Not only do I think they are delicious, but my toddler does too. They are lovely on their own, or make a wonderful ingredient to cook with. My toddler helped me make The Laughing Cow and cheddar cheese twists, perfect for an on the go snack or something to keep out for him to graze on. His favourite way to eat them is straight from the foil. We always keep a wheel in the fridge.

    I find it doesnt run and make crackers all soggy either.

  • Not for everyone

    These have a strong taste to me and sadly the kids and I weren't big fans. I remember kids eating these triangles straight out of the pack at school. Would be so great for the dairy intake. But sadly just not our type of flavour. We will be sticking to normal cheddar in our family.

    I have loved and been buying these for years and years. I remember loving them when I lived in the uk over 20 years ago and then my children loving them when I found them in the shops here.

    We finally got to try Laughing Cow cheese triangles and they are a massive hit with the family! My kindy boy has been taking a triangle every day with crackers, carrots, pasta and loving it!

  • Delicious and creamy cheese triangles

    I was pretty excited to try the laughing cow cream cheese triangles and they were a hit with the kids in their lunchboxes as well. We ate them by themselves and also on crackers with cherry tomatoes. Super convenient and taste great. I highly recommend them and we have already bought some more and we will be buying more in the future.

  • So Versatile and Oh so Yummy

    Wow, this is seriously taking me back to when I was a child, as my parents had this when I was growing up. The Laughing Cow cheeses are just the best, so versatile being that they can be used in so many ways. It was a total hit with the family.

    I love the creaminess of these little bite sized wedges, as did the rest of my family. They are perfectly portioned too.

    Hubby had his spread on toast in the morning, I popped them on some crackers and also made the kids an after school snack with The Laughing Cow cheese, pulled pork wrapped in puff pastry. So yummy.

    I love that they are individually wrapped, so great to pop in school lunch boxes, so they get their hit of calcium. I was tempted to sneak a wedge every time I passed by my fridge.

    Overall, I will now continue to purchase. Thanks for reuniting me with an old favourite.

  • Great Verstile Snacks for the whole family!

    These cheese snacks are just so useful. From bringing a repacked snack on a road trip, to a last minute car snack on the way out the front door. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks, you can use them for everything. I personally love them in a corn thin with a fat slice of tomato and some flaky salt. My daughter loves them straight out the foil or in our strawberry cheesecake bites. My husband’s favourite is Cinni Bun French Toast Roll Ups.

    We love them!

It is very convenient to use since it comes in individual portions .They are a good source of calcium without any artificial colours or flavours. My whole family loved it. I would definitely recommend it and I have already bought it after the trial.

Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.

What if I’m overreacting?
What if I’ve got it wrong?

So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.

It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.

Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.

Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise

According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.

“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.

Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital

While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.

So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.

“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.

Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone

A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.

You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.

Leticia gets it.

“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”

But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.

Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.

“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”

Remember, we know our children better than anyone.

What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process

If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.

Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
  2. Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
  3. Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.

You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.

What should you actually look out for?

Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.

Things like:

  • Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
  • Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
  • Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
  • Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
  • Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
  • Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse

And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.

That’s enough.

“You are helping us, not bothering us”

If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.

“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.

“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”

The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.

“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”

And if you’re still worried about being judged?

“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”

  • You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.

    Reply

  • A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!

    Reply

  • Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
    So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.

    Reply

  • This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.

    Reply

  • It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.

    Reply

  • How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!

    Reply

  • This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.

    Reply

  • This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.

    Reply

  • I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
