What does "entredijes" mean?

Question

I'm reading Ricardo Palma and there are several words that I do not understand, nor can I find the meanings through the internet.

The sentence goes: "...no de uno de esos cuentos de entredijes y babador..."

Answer 1

dije

"cuentos entre dijes y babador" = stories for babies

Answer 2

Thanks everybody for the help!

I found this word...could it be related?

entredecir.

1. tr. Poner entredicho eclesiástico.

2. tr. ant. Prohibir la comunicación y trato con alguien o algo.

MORF. conjug. actual c. decir; part. irreg. entredicho.

Answer 4

I'm not sure at all...

However, I looked up the passage, and it's entre dijes y babador, and I think dijes, in this case, is a noun. Babador apparently means "bib" or chin-cloth.

So, it makes no sense to me, and I hope a native straightens us out, but here's my attempt...

...not one of those stories between charming things and bib.

That has got to be off somehow, though.
