some of you may already do this but i started doing it tonight with DD's dinner (she's 9 months)
I always want to make her whole grain noodles but i hate putting store bought marinara or tomato sauce on them because i think they probably have a lot of salt. Tonight i defrosted some of her homemade purees and used them as sauce. She had chopped up whole grain linguini with squash puree sauce. She loved it! I have a hard time getting her to eat her purees sometimes and now i have a new method to try to get her to eat them : )
Re: idea for noodles
my DD also doesnt have any teeth yet but she does fine with pasta, i just cut it up into bite size pieces. she likes rotini. i've given her spaghetti, penne, and linguini and had no problems.
i started with pastina (smallest noodle, not sure if it comes in wholegrain ) then this week used barley.
