Can Babies Eat Noodles?

Noodles are popular foods, made from unleavened dough, rolled flat and cut, stretched into strings or long strips. They are mostly dried for future use, but they can also be refrigerated. This is why they need cooking in oily and salty boiling water, or are pan- or deep-fried. They are usually used as an ingredient in soups.

The first written record of noodles is found in a Chinese book dating from 25-220 CE. Noodles became staple foods for Chinese people during the Han dynasty. Now they are staple foods in many cultures: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Italian cultures. Noodles usually refer to East Asian noodles, while pasta is typical for Italian cuisine. The first mention of Italian pasta dates from the 13th century, from when pasta is used in a variety of shapes, depending on regional specializations.

There are many types of Japanese noodles: ramen, shirataki, soba, hiyamugi, but the most famous noodles are the udon. They are the thickest of Japanese noodles, and are usually served chilled with a dipping sauce in warm seasons and in several hot dishes and soups in cold seasons. They are white, wheat-based noodles, with a 4-6 mm width.

Most variations of instant noodles are low in calories, dietary fibers and protein, but are high in fat, carbs and sodium.

What Kind Of Noodles Can Babies Eat?

Some of the healthiest noodles are kelp noodles, soba noodles, quinoa noodles and rice noodles, but pasta is the best way to introduce noodles to babies. If small noodles like spirals or macaroni are well cooked and cut into the correct sizes, they can be an appetizing food for babies, once they start eating solid foods, at the age of 6 months old.
