Pasta

6+ moGrainsContains wheat

Allergen: wheat

Pasta contains a common allergen (wheat). Current guidelines recommend introducing allergens early (from 6 months) as this may reduce allergy risk. Introduce on its own, offer a small amount first, and wait 2-3 days before introducing another new allergen. Watch for signs of allergic reaction: hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. Consult your pediatrician if your baby is at high risk for allergies.

How to Prepare

Cook until very soft and offer large shapes (fusilli, penne) for easy gripping. Can be tossed in sauce or served plain. Cut long noodles into shorter pieces.

Nutritional Highlights

Good energy source with iron and B vitamins. Choose fortified or whole-grain varieties when possible. Easy to pair with vegetables and proteins.
