ADVICE

Avoid Salting Baby's Pasta Water

  • Do not salt the cooking water when making pasta for babies to avoid excess salt intake.
  • Let your baby taste the food itself, without being masked by salt flavors.
ANECDOTE

Too Firm Pasta Gagged Babies

  • Katie Ferraro once gave her 7.5-month-old quadruplets al dente penne pasta.
  • The babies gagged because it was not soft enough, teaching her to cook pasta softer for babies.
ADVICE

Choose Simple Wheat Pasta

  • Choose pasta made only with semolina or durum wheat flour for baby-led weaning.
  • Avoid egg noodles when introducing wheat to babies for clearer allergen testing.
