Recipe ⬇️
Step-by-step guide ⬇️
Homemade Mac and Cheese for 8 months +Mac and Cheese is a meal my 21-month-old, Kai, would never reject. That’s not surprising as I don’t think many adults would reject a good mac and cheese either! I mean, who can resist pasta slathered in a cheesy buttery sauce?… unless there are too many veggies in it! But more of that later!
I love watching Kai eat. He’s incredibly impatient! Using a fork to pick up the macaroni is way too slow, so he chucks it aside and goes back to basics by using his little hands. This leads me to reminisce about his infant days where he would adorably struggle to pick up macaroni and find his mouth. These days he quickly shoves the macaroni in his mouth until his cheeks puff out, then has trouble chewing them all at once. My little man is growing rapidly before my very eyes!
Mac and cheese was a dish that I ate when I was a broke student during my uni days but I didn’t even make it myself. I bought those convenient, cheap boxes of macaroni with the cheese powder. It’s funny that I never thought about making real Mac and Cheese until Kai was born. I guess, like most parents, we want the best for our children. It wouldn’t have felt right feeding him those store-bought mac and cheese boxes. I don’t even want to know what kind of stuff they put in there!
There are healthier options to feed our children than mac and cheese, but it’s nice to treat them occasionally. Besides, when we’re making this for them, we can sneak healthier ingredients in. Such as using a more nutritious type of pasta and adding some veggies in!

Mango, Pear & banana PureeLentils, Sweet potato & CarrotPrune and Pear PureeSimple Chia PuddingFussy toddlers driving their parents insaneIt’s been a long while since I’ve posted a recipe dedicated to babies or toddlers. Health nurses encourage parents to feed babies the food they’re eating when they’re 12 months of age. I have tried to adapt to this, but there’s no guarantee that Kai would eat what we were having, so I always had to have a backup meal ready for him, anyway!
Most times, before I cook or order food, I always think about Kai. Those days of eating as much spicy food or seafood as much as I wanted are long gone. Most times, we only get to eat these types of food when I’m recreating my favourite recipes for this blog! This is how much I am committed to you, Kai!
So here is where I’ll be completely honest with you. I’ve tried placing different veggies in Kai’s Mac and cheese. Most of the time it went terribly because I, being an overzealous mum, dumped loads of veggies in or used veggies I knew he would probably reject. I hoped that the flavour of the cheese sauce hid the taste of the veggies!
Nope, Kai is now too old to fool. I added half a cup of kale which I thought would have a mild taste. Kai took a few bites and pushed his bowl away. I have tried putting in carrots, spinach, corn and zucchini. He sometimes accepts these, but I have most luck when it’s broccoli.
Then after that hurdle, think about quantity too! even if it’s a vegetable that Kai tolerates, if I put too many in his Mac and cheese, he won’t eat much of it. I always regret trying to be pushy with the veggies, because I rather see him eat most of this food than none of it.
Ingredients for Mac and Cheese for babyMacaroni (elbows) – These days there are many healthier pasta varieties available to us! Supermarkets have veggie, fibre pasta, buckwheat, wholemeal pasta and many more. All these kinds of pasta will work, however, stick to the elbows or smaller macaroni, as they’re quicker to cook over the stove.
Mozzarella cheese – I used mozzarella cheese as it’s mild in taste and relatively low in fat and calories. It’s also a healthier option compared to other types of cheese. However, any kind of melting cheese would work, such as mild cheddar.

For the latest recipes and other fun stuff!Broccoli – I’ve tried cooking with lots of different veggies with Kai’s Mac and Cheese. For us, he would always eat it if it’s with broccoli, just as long as I don’t place too much of it in. You may swap broccoli for a veggie your child would eat, such as corn, carrots, or zucchini. Chop the vegetable in safe sizes for your little one to prevent choking.
Onion powder – Always take the time to read the ingredients list on the label. The onion powder I used states that ‘it may contain traces of sesame’ which is a common food allergy. Dried parsley or any herbs and spices are good substitutions.
Salt – Please adjust the salt to the needs of your child. If your child is younger than 12 months, you may wish to skip adding salt altogether.
How to make Mac and Cheese for babyStep-by-step guide with photosMelt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add in garlic and stir quickly for a few seconds until fragrant, then add in the flour, stirring quickly for a minute. Once the mixture bubbles slowly pour in the milk, whilst whisking. It’ll look lumpy at first but continue to whisk until smooth. Once the milk is hot, pour in the water and bring it to a boil.
Healthier Mac and Cheese for babyAdd in the macaroni, onion powder and salt, stir occasionally for 10 minutes. Add in the broccoli, and cook for 5 minutes or until the pasta and broccoli have softened. Stir regularly, so the pasta doesn’t get stuck to the bottom of the pan. The Mac and cheese should look saucy, don’t overcook it or it’ll become too dry. Stir in the cheese until it has completely melted. The sauce will thicken more once the pasta cools down.
Leftovers – Allow the pasta to cool completely at room temperature. Transfer the pasta into an airtight container and refrigerate, it’ll be good for up to 3 days. Frozen pasta will keep for up to 3 months.

Point to consider
Use pasteurized full-fat cheese such as mild cheddar cheese and cream cheese for babies. Mold-ripened soft cheeses (brie and camembert), and soft blue-veined cheese (roquefort) have a higher risk of carrying a bacteria called listeria (2).
1. Are mac and cheese a choking hazard for babies?
Most babies can eat well-cooked pasta cut into small pieces from six months of age. Cutting pasta into smaller pieces is essential to avert the choking risk that large mac and cheese pasta pieces could raise.
2. Are macaroni and cheese good for babies?
Cheese is made of milk, which can provide babies with essential nutrients, such as protein, calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus. On the other hand, macaroni is usually made of durum wheat which can offer babies dietary fiber, iron, phosphorus, and B vitamins (1). Consuming these foods in moderation as a part of a well-balanced diet can contribute to the baby’s nutritional requirements.
3. How do I make mac and cheese without milk or butter?
You can use plant-based milk, such as cashew milk, instead of whole milk. On the other hand, you can replace butter with vegan butter or nutritional yeast to make mac and cheese without milk or butter.
4. Do I have to put eggs in baked macaroni and cheese?
No. It isn’t necessary to put eggs in baked macaroni and cheese since it’s a personal preference.
5. What kind of pasta do I use for macaroni and cheese?
Mac and cheese is usually made of elbow macaroni or medium shells. However, you can experiment with the ingredients and make mac and cheese using different types of pasta.
6. Can I substitute sour cream for milk in mac and cheese?
Yes. You can use a regular or plant-based sour cream to substitute milk in mac and cheese.
Macaroni and cheese recipes for babies can be given around one year if they are already on solids and not allergic or intolerant to lactose or gluten.

Macaroni and cheese recipe
Everyone loves macaroni and cheese: both adults and children. To make such pasta yourself, it is not necessary to be a professional chef and have delicacies on hand.
Photo: whitemouse.ru: YouTube / Simple recipeTo implement this recipe you will need:
- durum wheat pasta or baby pasta - 0.3 kg;
- Dutch cheese - 150 g;
- butter - 2 tbsp. l.;
- milk - 30 ml;
- salt.
Modern pediatrics, contrary to popular belief, calls pasta dishes not only desirable, but also a necessary product for a children's menu.
Durum wheat pasta contains carbohydrates, amino acids valuable for the child's body, vitamins A, E and group B, which are involved in the formation of bones, teeth, joints, nervous tissue and increase the skin's resistance to infections. nine0005
In addition, pasta is a valuable source of calcium, potassium, sodium, which are so necessary for a growing body.
Photo: gotovkin.su: PixabayAge from the 1st year is considered ideal to start introducing complementary foods from pasta. However, now there are special children's pasta on sale, approved for use from 8–9 months.
Due to the high content of carbohydrates, vitamins and animal proteins, cheese does not lag behind meat or fish in terms of usefulness, especially when the child does not like and does not eat them. But due to the high fat content, it is recommended to give it only from the age of one. nine0005
Before making macaroni and cheese, many mothers wonder when they can start introducing their baby to this dish. It is difficult to give an unequivocal answer to it, because it depends on a number of factors:
- Ability to chew.
If the baby does not chew food even at the age of 1.5–2 years, it is better to postpone this moment.
- Pasta sizes.
Large feathers or horns are more difficult for a child to chew than ordinary small vermicelli or spaghetti. nine0005
Avoid macaroni and cheese altogether if your baby:
- suffers from constipation;
- is allergic to dairy products or gluten, which is found in flour products from cereals;
- is diabetic or obese.
In the absence of contraindications, feel free to take note of this recipe. Let's talk about how to cook delicious macaroni and cheese further.
How to cook macaroni and cheese for children
Macaroni and cheese is often included in the menu of kindergartens. In order to feed at home and at the same time please the child with pasta in the same way as for an afternoon snack in his kindergarten group, do the following:
- Take a thick-walled saucepan and pour 3 liters of water into it, assuming that for every 0.1 kg of pasta you need a liter of liquid.
- As soon as the water begins to boil, add a pinch of salt.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and stir well so that it does not stick to the bottom. Some housewives at this stage pour a tablespoon of sunflower oil into the water with pasta so that they do not stick together in finished form and better retain their original shape.
- Reduce the flame and, without covering the pot, cook the pasta for a few minutes less than indicated on the package. Slightly undercooked, they still have time to cook and do not turn into flour puree. nine0008
- Drain and rinse the boiled horns or shells with hot boiled water through a colander.
- When the pasta has drained, return it to the cooking pot and add the softened butter. If the baby eats ghee well, use it: in terms of nutritional value, it is no worse than regular butter and is allowed from 8 months.
- Stir to evenly coat the pasta with the dressing and pour in the amount of milk indicated in the recipe.
- Bring pasta with milk and butter to a boil over low heat. Don't forget to stir constantly. nine0008
- After that, turn off the heat and add the last ingredient to the pan - hard cheese, chopped on a fine grater.
- Close the lid and shake the contents. Wait 5-7 minutes and serve: during this time, the cheese will have time to melt and become like a delicate milk sauce.
Similar ingredients can be used to make macaroni and cheese in the oven. To do this, mix the boiled pasta, butter, milk, cheese and transfer everything to a greased baking dish. nine0005
This dish takes longer to cook, about 25 minutes, at 180-190°C.
If you want to make the dish richer and more flavorful, add an egg to the recipe. Moreover, beat the yolk into the pasta itself, and beat the protein with a mixer until foamy and cover the side dish with it.
Whether you cook macaroni and cheese in the oven or the classic way, eating it can always be turned into a fun game. Take, instead of the usual ones, pasta in the form of animal figures or letters and show your imagination. Then the kid will remember lunch not as a severe punishment, but as a trip to the zoo or to the land of knowledge. nine0005
