Pasta
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
Pasta can be given from 6-7 months onward, cooked THOROUGHLY (soft, not al dente); easy-to-grip shapes such as farfalle/penne are BLW-friendly.
How to serve it by age?
Very soft-cooked small pasta, mashed with a vegetable sauce.
Whole penne/farfalle as finger food — the baby grips and eats it themselves.
Family pasta (low in salt, with cream-free and spice-free sauces).
⚠️ Allergen information
Contains wheat/gluten; its introduction follows the same rule as other gluten-containing grains.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
Long spaghetti strands are challenging for a young baby: start with short-shaped pasta.
📌 Watch out for these
- Ready-made sauces contain salt and sugar; prefer a homemade tomato-vegetable sauce.
