Whole wheat

I know whole wheat is supposed to be healthier, and that I should make all of LO's stuff whole wheat. However, we typically just do whole wheat for the bread and not for pasta or pancakes as of right now. I was wondering what everyone else does.

    I tried whole wheat products with the boys but they didn't really take to them. I hope when they get older they learn to like it. I do use whole wheat pasta and give them whole wheat crackers. Other than that, I just make sure the products I use are unbleached and unbromated.

    We get whole wheat bread because I worry about her choking on the seeds in the grainy bread. I do give her vans waffles and she loves them. She has only had white pasta and rice.

    I try to so whole grain stuff, but our budget is pretty right, so if non-whole grain things are in a really good sale, I get those instead.

    I try for whole grain and whole wheat, and put half and half because that's as much as DH will tolerate.

    All whole wheat.  SFFC:  I categorize all whole wheat/whole grain/multi grain together.

    Our house is almost 100% stone ground whole wheat products. I would say the exceptions are toddler snacks like pretzels, graham crackers and some brands of tortilla chips. Dh is a big "bad carb" police man so he's kind of a pain in the ass about white carbs in our family.

    We always buy whole wheat/whole grain everything anyway so he's always just had that. He eats it so I hope he prefers it when he's older.

    Same as @sctiger‌ ! Celiac here and J does not eat much wheat because of it. Mostly because of cross contamination etc. I'm not opposed to him eating wheat we just don't typically have it around.

    LOL, I'm the first person to vote all white!!  We are a white bread/rice house.  We've tried whole grain stuff in the past but we just don't like it. 


    Im sorry but all i can think of after reading this is the Modern Family episode where Phil kept saying, "if you ain't white, you ain't right."
