Pasta

When did you start feeding your LO whole pasta? And what shape did you start with? I keep reading about people giving spaghetti but won't they choke on that?! I can barely eat spaghetti

i gave it katie at about 6 months. the spaghetti i just cooked and then cut up into 1-2 inch pieces. i give her pasta shells and stuff sometimes as finger food, just another thing they know how to eat!!

I used to use the baby pasta from about 6 months and now I get the tiny pasta shells I think they are supposed to be used in soups much cheaper and still great x

I think some people use those spaghetti shapes? You know the ones in tomato sauce in like barbie or winnie the pooh shapes, theyre really soft and easy for them to eat

We gave Poppy the tiny pasta stars from about 7 months but last week I gave her the Annabel Karmel Dinosaur pasta (just because it was on offer and they are quite big pieces of pasta). Gave them to Poppy with some tinned tomatoes and tuna and she ate them off a spoon and by picking them up as finger food. A definite hit!

I give Helena those little alphabet pasta, or the little stars. I have also cut bowties in quarters, and I found some little tube type things that I gave her as a finger food the other day. I haven't tried spaghetti. Oh and she also has had lasagna but it was mega mushy.

I give it as finger food quite often, since he was about 5 and a half months.

Have given the twists so far, don't think he would be able to pick spaghetti up!!!

they have the baby pastas which are supposed to be fortified with iron but we've always just used the macaronis (adult version) for Hannah
