I never bothered with baby pasta, just used normal pasta and cut it up as necessary. And it's been wholegrain bread all the way in this house.

Thanks for your response...do you use brown pasta then and brown rice as well?

Pasta tends to vary according to what we are having. Wholewheat pasta is limited enough in terms of shapes etc. so for example I've yet to find wholewheat lasagne so if I want to make lasagne I use the normal stuff. We use both white and wholegrain rice. Tbh we don't use masses of either pasta or rice so while I prefer wholegrain I'm not too worried if I don't use it all the time.

Thanks once again! I found wholemeal lasagne in Tesco! But I am in Ireland so you might not find it in the UK... I am at work so cant check brand for you today...

No need to check the brand thanks. I'm Irish, but living in Switzerland now so not the same brands available here I'm afraid.

I have bought the baby pasta in the past but we mainly use normal pasta and i used to cut it up where needed. We also only have brown bread and rice but we probably have white pasta a bit more than brown as i like it much better. x
