Spaghetti and meatballs
I’m planning on feeding my 6 month old the same as us, we are having spaghetti meatballs and tomato sauce. I’m aware the spaghetti needs to be cute up into small pieces but how do I serve the meatballs?

Looks fab! Don’t be discouraged if they struggle a bit to grasp it. Smaller pieces are hard for a young baby to grasp if they don’t have the pincher grasp. I found rotini and penne a bit easier when my daughter was little. Now she’s a bit older, spaghetti is her fav. But you may find your little one has no problem at all!
My question is does your baby have teeth? If not, I would strongly suggest blending the pasta up into a purée to avoid any choking hazard.

If they’re bigger than baby’s fist, they can be served as is. If smaller, they need to be cut up into pieces.
