[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regular pasta doesn't have added sugar. Neither does regular milk. Are you worried about too many carbs OP? I think you need to explain what your issue is, again, from the beginning.

The easy answer would be not to carb-load your baby. They don't need a mound of rice or pasta for dinner. Baby can have the roasted veggies, whatever protein you're offering, fruit, cheese, lots of stuff. It doesn't have to be from a package.

If it's overwhelming you, then roast a mega batch of sweet potato slices, carrots, brussel sprouts, and mushrooms over the weekend. Keep them and reheat during the week as an easy go-to.[/quote]

It's fine to feed baby carbs.  Babies and children can easily process carbs, and use the energy to grow.  Unless a child is overweight/obese, there is no reason to reduce or restrict carbs, and good reason to do so. [/quote]

I didn't suggest restricting carbs. What I suggested included several carby-vegetables, but ones that have a higher nutrient density than rice. Rice is calories but not much else - sweet potato has carbs, as well as vitamins B and C. Carrots have carbs, potassium, and vitamin A. Fruits also offer plenty of carbohydrates and vitamins. You don't have to get your daily carb quota from rice & wheat.

Anyway, this is sort of a diversion from OP's post. I was just taking a guess at what her issue was and trying to suggest an healthy option that addressed her concern and is a healthy set of first foods for a baby. Still not clear what she's going for. [/quote]
