What kind of oatmeal for lo?

TMDMJAOCT07 · February 2011

We're almost out of Gerber infant oatmeal, and looking for other ideas/options. What kind of oatmeal do you feed your lo?

We have started to give him normal quackers quick cooking oats. I usually stir in some jelly or cinnamon to give it some flavor.

We used Earth's Best and Gerber, but the Gerber oatmeal mixes up much smoother. I gave DD a bite of my oatmeal when she was about a year and now that is all she will eat. Our pedi said that was ok, but baby oatmeal is fortified with iron so if they will eat that until age 2 it is better.

We still give earth's best. He likes it so I figure why not. Plus it is easy for the sitter.

We just give DD regular oatmeal. I mix in some pure maple syrup and cinnamon. She loves it, and she loves to help make it

We are still using the Gerber oatmeal. I add fruit for variety. She likes it, so I keep giving it to her.

We also use regular Quaker quick oats. I also stir in an all-fruit jelly

We use the same thing that we eat.. I posted a recipe on my blog called Purple Porridge, it's one of her favorites

Also, we make an overnight oatmeal with steel cut oats - usually make a pot once per week and we reheat it for her in the mornings. I'll share that one my blog eventually too.. once she starts sleeping again like a normal baby :P

We make quick oats with whole milk and then add in mashed banana and a little cinnamon.

We do steel cut and the girls both love it. I'll usually cook dried cranberries in (the cooking softens them so they're no longer a choking hazard) and sometimes a small sprinkle of brown sugar.

LO loves steel cut oatmeal. Costco sells Coach's Oats, they're delish and cook in 5 minutes. I add smashed banana, brown sugar, and cinnamon. I still have a box of Earth's Best I'm trying to finish, I add it pancake batter for LO.

I make myself maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal... and Evelyn will come toddling over, open her mouth, and expect a spoonful... or 10 Wink

We're still using Gerber cereal (the mixed grain kind), mainly because this is what's in the house, but I was thinking of switching to regular Quaker oats since that's what I eat.

I feed DD regular quick oats. I add all sorts of pureed fruits into it, but her favorite is when I mix pureed avocados and apple sauce into her oatmeal with a little dash of cinnamon.
