Veggie Noodles by Baby Healthy Bites

Where are my indomie Mamas. This is for you! Actually I don’t even have any form of instant noodles in my home, said a BIG NO to instant noodles for almost 2 years now for reasons I think we all know.

But I was given some noodle packs and since I won’t throw them away, we made something without using the regular seasoning that comes in the packs.

So here is my recipe, save and share with other mums so they know a better way to prepare any instant noodles they have.

Carrots are a must have, and should be among the 3 foods to be added into our babies diet. Reasons why listed below:

Carrots are rich in fibre, which helps with normal bowel movements for the baby. Also rich in iron, calcium and Vitamin C.

Carrots are also known to very effectively build up the immune system, which is very important in the life of our babies.

Carrots can also be mixed with other cereals or made into a warm soup.

Be adventurous with your baby, try various combinations.

Trust me, babies love the sweet taste of carrots.
