Pasta Baby Food

Let’s face it – there’s nothing cuter than seeing a smiley, squishy baby covered from head to toe in pasta noodles and sauce (your kitchen floor, on the other hand….not so cute, but it’s washable. Maybe you should just get a dog now. Or borrow the neighbor’s dog?). Pasta is a perfect first food for your baby, and not just because of its yummy comfort food quality, although that’s a bonus.

Pasta can be a great source of iron, fiber, folate, protein, and B vitamins. It also makes for a soft finger food that is just as easy for your baby to self-feed as it is for parents to cook up in the kitchen. And when paired with protein, high-quality fat, and veggies, it makes for a well-rounded meal that will satisfy your baby AND your whole family.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I introduce pasta to your baby?

You can introduce pasta when your baby shows signs of readiness, usually around 6 months. That being said, many kinds of pasta contain wheat and/or eggs which are 2 of the most common food allergens. It is recommended to wait to introduce the top eight allergen foods to your baby once a few other well-tolerated foods have been introduced, especially if your baby is at high risk for food allergies. With pasta, it might be best to introduce eggs and wheat separately before pasta to be able to identify any allergies.

Is cooked pasta a choking hazard?

Cooked pasta is not typically a choking hazard, though anyone can choke on any food, so always supervise your baby while they are eating.

Is pasta a common allergen?

Many kinds of pasta contain the common food allergens of wheat and eggs, so always read an ingredients list if your child is allergic to one of these. The good news is that there are many types of kinds of pasta on the market that do not contain these ingredients, so you should be able to find one that meets your baby’s needs. As with any food, start with a small portion and be aware of any signs that might be an allergic reaction after introducing it. If you suspect your child has food allergies, talk with your pediatrician about the best way to introduce allergens.

Does pasta cause constipation in babies?

Too much pasta from refined grains like white flour can be constipating. However, whole-grain pasta or pasta made from beans may help relieve constipation since they are higher in fiber.

Baby Feeding Tips

When making pasta for babies, it should be cooked fully and a little past al dente, so that it’s easily squishable. If you or the rest of your family prefers a little firmer pasta, just take out portions for them and cook the rest a little longer for your baby.
Serve pasta with a little bit of olive oil, ghee, or sauce to make it easier to mash for beginning eaters.
Use kitchen shears to cut noodles into smaller bite-sized pieces as needed.
Pasta can be served on a pre-loaded fork to your baby or let your baby use their hands.

Pasta for Baby-Led Weaning

Pasta is a great food for your baby to self-feed, whether for baby-led weaning, which happens around 6 months of age, or during the finger foods stage after traditional weaning at 8-9 months.

6+ Months – Bigger Shapes: rigatoni, rotini, ziti, farfalle, lasagna noodle strips, etc. At this age, offering larger pieces of wide, flat, or tubular-shaped pasta will help your baby grasp the pasta better.

9+ Months – Smaller Shapes: elbow, ravioli, penne, rotini, bow tie, cut noodles, etc. At this age, your baby will develop a pincer grasp, where they can pick up smaller pieces of food using their thumb and index finger. You can also continue to serve larger, wider pieces of pasta if your baby is more successful with this size and shape.

12-18+ Months – Noodles: spaghetti, rice noodles, udon, ramen, etc. At this age, your toddler might be more willing to accept a pre-loaded fork with pasta on it, but it’s totally fine if they still prefer using their fingers. Continue to offer a variety of noodle shapes and textures.

Pasta for Traditional Weaning

If you started out feeding your baby using traditional weaning (aka spoon feeding), your baby will typically be ready to start trying pasta anywhere between 7-9 months (although always keep in mind that each baby is different, and your baby’s developmental progress and skills may look slightly different).

How you offer pasta at this point really depends on the individual baby. You can offer small, soft pieces of pasta and a pureed sauce together, either on a pre-loaded spoon or for your baby to self-feed with their hands. Or your baby might be ready at this point to try self-feeding bigger, wider pieces of tubular pastas, such as rigatoni, rotini, ziti, farfalle, or lasagna noodle strips.

Best Baby Finger Foods for Babies & Toddlers

Once your baby has shown signs that they’re ready to start baby finger foods, their eating adventure gets more exciting! Typically, babies show an interest in self-feeding around 8–10 months of age, but timing will vary based on your child’s development.

Choosing the right baby finger foods can help your little one adapt to this new stage—and lay the foundation for a varied, healthy palate as they grow up. As you and your baby dive into this new world together, keep in mind that the best early finger foods are:

Large enough for your baby to pick up but small enough to prevent choking
Soft enough to gum, mush and eat without molars (which your toddler will develop around 1.5–2 years of age)
Minimally processed with no added sugar and minimum salt

You don’t have to brainstorm baby finger food ideas on your own, either! Check out the quick list below for 12 recommended finger foods for babies and young toddlers.

12 of the Best Baby Finger Foods for Babies & Toddlers

When introducing finger foods, you don’t have to worry about going in a strict order. Just focus on offering a variety of colors, textures, flavors and food groups! (Of course, there are a few foods to avoid, but we’ll get to those later. )

1. English Peas

Peas are nature’s perfect pick-up food for babies who are just learning to self-feed. They’re mild in flavor and pair well with proteins, grains and other veggies. Frozen peas are also a great choice if your toddler is teething—thaw them out so they’re squishy but still cold for your teething toddler. The size and shape of peas make them one of the best finger foods for babies.

Recommended Nurture Life meal: Our English Pea, Corn & Sweet Potato meal is as brightly colored as it is nutritious! The vibrant colors make this dish especially appealing for babies to grab, while serving up naturally sweet flavors and essential nutrients like vitamins A and B1.

2. Soft Beans

Soft legumes are perfect for your baby to practice their pincer grasp, and different varieties offer subtly unique flavors and textures. Try soft, small beans with thin skins, such as cannellini beans, pinto beans and black beans.

3. Salmon

You may be surprised how quickly your little eater takes to fish! Salmon is not only naturally soft and flaky, but it’s also packed with omega-3 fatty acids that are important to infants’ cognitive development.

4. Potatoes

White potatoes and sweet potatoes are great sources of starch and dietary fiber to add to your baby’s finger food combinations. They’re soft enough to mush without molars, and the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes is especially enticing. If your baby is just starting finger foods, remove the skin before dicing and serving.

Recommended Nurture Life meal: Our Pasta, Sweet Potato & Black Bean meal serves up plenty of fiber and vitamin A in a pleasing trio of colors. If you want all the sweet potato goodness with some extra protein, too, try our Braised Chicken, Sweet Potato & Carrot!

5. Carrots

Cooked carrots are mildly sweet, which your little eater will love, and they’re perfectly soft for mushing and gumming. If your little one is ready for more advanced flavors, try roasting the carrots in the oven to deepen the natural sweetness.

Recommended Nurture Life meal: What’s so great about our Carrot, Raisin & Butternut Squash with Cinnamon? It’s not only soft and sweet to keep your baby reaching for more, but it’s delightfully spiced to give them a taste of new flavors.

6. Scrambled Eggs

With their fluffy-soft texture, eggs are a great protein to introduce to your baby or toddler early on. Just scramble a single egg—no other ingredients necessary! Or add frozen chopped spinach so your baby gets used to a veggie-enhanced dish. Once fully cooked, chop the egg into small pieces for your baby to enjoy.

7. Firm Tofu

This plant-based protein is firm and finger-friendly! You can serve it uncooked (just blot dry and dice) or you can cook it with some mild seasoning. Boiling, baking or searing tofu will actually make it harder, so keep that in mind when preparing it for your baby or toddler. Make sure to avoid buying soft or silken tofu which will be too soft for your baby to pick up.

Recommended Nurture Life meal: With vitamin A, copper, calcium and potassium, our Asian-inspired Tofu, Sweet Soy Glazed Carrot & Zucchini meal is thoughtfully balanced and creatively seasoned.

8. Soft Meats

For teeth that are still developing, start with meats that are easy to chew, like small chunks of ground meat, cut-up meatballs, or shredded chicken or turkey. These meat options are easier to mush and offer a great pop of protein when served with colorful veggies like steamed carrots, corn or peas.

Recommended Nurture Life meal: Now is the perfect time to introduce your little one to hints of exciting new flavors! Our Turkey, Sweet Potato, Rutabaga & Orange Zest meal brings some citrusy tang to the table without overpowering the kid-friendly flavors.

9. Bite-Sized Pasta

Small pastas like ditalini or whole wheat elbow macaroni are great finger foods for toddlers and babies. Instead of cooking the pasta al dente, overcook it slightly so it’s soft enough for your little one to enjoy without fully developed teeth.

Recommended Nurture Life meal: In our Chicken Meatballs & Pasta, we pair soft ditalini pasta with our housemade chicken meatballs for a protein-packed finger food combination.

10. Corn

Have your little one practice self-feeding with this sweet veggie! Get it fresh or frozen, and steam to soften. Corn’s naturally sweet flavor makes it satisfying for babies and toddlers, and the kernels are perfectly sized for little fingers to practice their pincer grasp.

Recommended Nurture Life meal: For a toddler-friendly take on comfort food, serve up our Turkey Meatloaf, Sweet Potato & Corn! Not only rich with protein, our turkey meatloaf has a soft, smooth texture that makes it the perfect early finger food.

11. Green Beans

Steamed, chopped green beans are a healthy vegetable for your little one to start enjoying. Green beans are great to introduce early: If your baby learns to accept their mildly bitter flavor, they’ll be more likely to enjoy green beans and other healthy, bitter vegetables as they grow older.

12. Zucchini

Diced zucchini is a light vegetable that softens easily with steaming. Leave the skin on for a bit of texture, and pair it with a protein and a healthy carbohydrate for a well-rounded meal.

Recommended Nurture Life meal: Our finger-friendly Ratatouille Pasta combines zucchini with eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes and soft-cooked ditalini pasta. It’s full of homey flavors, vibrant colors and immune-boosting vitamin C!

Recommended Baby Finger Foods for Baby-Led Weaning

Some babies start on baby finger foods at the beginning of their eating journey, a method called baby-led weaning. This style of introducing food goes straight to self-feeding at around 6 months of age, skipping single-ingredient and combination purees that are spoon-fed to your baby.

The best baby-led weaning finger foods should be soft enough that your baby can easily mash them without teeth and big enough that your baby can learn to hold the pieces, even without the pincer grasp (which they will likely develop later).

Large pieces of soft-cooked vegetables or naturally soft fruits work especially well for baby-led weaning, including:

Cauliflower
Carrots
Sweet potatoes
Bananas
Avocados
Pears
Ripe melons

Baby Finger Foods to Avoid

While there are many safe finger foods for babies to enjoy, you’ll need to avoid foods that may be too difficult for your baby to chew or too easy for your baby to accidentally swallow whole. Foods that are circular, hard and especially thick, chewy or sticky should be avoided.

Here are some foods that you shouldn’t feed your baby or young toddler as they are developing their eating skills:

Whole grapes, cherries or berries
Hot dogs
Raw vegetables
Nuts and seeds
Nut butters
Popcorn
Hard candies or gummies
Marshmallows

Choking risk aside, these last foods should really be avoided for your little one anyway! Research shows that early exposure to sugar can lead to narrower taste preferences and lower-quality nutrition over a lifetime—so it’s never too early to set the stage for your baby’s healthy eating habits.

Starting Your Baby on Finger Foods

While most babies will develop an interest in self-feeding at about 6 months, it’s up to you as a parent whether you want to grant your child autonomy in this process. Some parents are fans of baby-led weaning, which starts at 6 months, while others like the traditional approach (7-8 month).

However, for baby-led weaning, your child should also be able to sit up and hold their heads up independently. If they’re unable to do so without assistance, it’s best to wait — but don’t wait too long. By year one, most babies should be eating foods similar to the rest of the family, though you’ll likely have to prepare their food separately for the right textures and sizes.

Some parents use the number of teeth a baby has as a guide, but that’s not a reliable indication of whether they’re ready for finger foods. Gums are surprisingly strong, and there are various baby finger foods that they can eat even without teeth.

Preparing Baby Finger Foods

For the most part, food that you feed your baby should be safe and easy to handle. After all, their fingers aren’t as dexterous as an adult’s, and that means they’ll have to make a fist to properly navigate the task of eating.

Younger babies between 6-8 months will use their whole hand to pick up a piece of food. To help them accomplish this task, baby finger foods should be bigger than the palm of their hand, or about two inches long. Carrots and other long and narrow strips of food work best here.

At around 8-9 months, babies learn the skills to pick up smaller pieces of food with a thumb and forefinger, which means you can start serving smaller foods that would present a significant challenge to younger babies.

Another important aspect of finger foods for babies is texture. Too soft and the food will quickly turn to mush during handling. Too hard and it could represent a choking hazard. Leaving the skin on bananas, apples and pears can make them easier to hold, or you can use a crinkle cutter to add texture if a certain food is too tough to handle.

Adding spices and herbs to baby finger foods can also be a great way to introduce your baby to more exotic flavors than the same old staples, which can expand their palette and drive a healthy interest in alternative tastes throughout childhood and beyond.

But if you’re not sure what to do with a certain food, try cooking it. Sautéing, steaming, roasting and boiling are but just a few ways to change the flavor profile and texture of a given finger food — though you should be ready for lots of trial and error. With a bit of persistence and experimentation, you’ll be able to find the right combination of food and preparation to make mealtime fun and enjoyable for both you and your child.

How Much Should You Offer?

While it’s easy as an adult to decide how much to eat, many parents are unsure how much to serve to their child. Food might also make its way across the table onto the floor where it’s difficult to determine what’s been eaten and what was devoted to play.

The good news is that just like adults, babies can manage their own intake of food. All you have to do is make sure that there’s enough yummy and nutritious food available and they’ll take care of the rest, feeding themselves at their own pace until full. As long as you’re serving them a well-balanced diet of baby finger foods, they’ll get all the nutrition they need for their growing bodies and minds.

Baby Finger Foods and Safety Precautions

Most parents already have a good idea of what’s ok during mealtime and what’s not, but here’s a refresher just in case. As mentioned earlier, your baby should always be sitting upright and focused during eating. Lying, slumping and other relaxed forms of eating must be avoided, as well as any eating on the go. Eating’s still a complicated activity for growing babies, so mealtimes should be strictly controlled and enforced.

If you have other kids in your house, don’t encourage or allow them to feed the baby. Once a baby starts self-feeding, they should be the only ones to put food in their mouth. However, don’t make the mistake of leaving your baby alone with food. If you’re not around, you won’t be able to help out in case of choking. It also goes without saying that you should never feed your baby finger foods that could represent a choking risk.

The Difference Between Gagging and Choking

During the initial stages of starting your baby on finger foods, many parents are rightfully fearful of choking. But gagging or coughing isn’t the same as choking for babies that have accentuated gag reflexes. In fact, gagging while eating is common for babies, and it’s actually pushing forward food that isn’t ready to be swallowed yet. It might be unsettling to watch, but it’ll be a common sight at mealtime.

On the other hand, choking is a very real concern. Unlike gagging, choking occurs when food blocks the baby’s airway, prompting a quick cough to clear the blockage. If the baby’s airway is fully blocked by food, you might not hear any sort of coughing as air is unable to escape. That makes it important not to feed your baby finger foods that are hard and liable to get stuck on the way down.

How To Prevent Choking

Since food is the most common cause of infant choking, it’s important to only serve finger foods that babies can eat. That said, babies can and do choke on just about anything, as long as they can grab it and put it in their mouth.

To prevent infant choking, the weaning timeline is crucial. In addition to the 6-8 month guideline for baby finger foods, babies should only be introduced to pureed solid foods after 4 months. Mealtime supervision is also an important consideration — your child should be focused on eating, not playing, walking or running while snacking. Games such as stuffing the mouth and catching food from the air should also be avoided, and the same goes for any small toys and other hazardous objects that might end up in baby’s mouth.

Nurture Life Makes Baby Finger Foods a Breeze

Our baby and toddler meals are just as diverse and nutrient-focused as all of our kids meals, only they’re made with a baby’s developmental capabilities in mind.
