Oatmeal

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

When did you guys stop using infant cereal (we've been doing infant oatmeal since DS was 5 mos old)?  DS has always loved it - first mixed with formula and now mixed with puree fruit.  At some point do they "graduate" to regular (e.g., Quaker) oatmeal? We're on the cusp of stopping purees - he still eats them along with finger/table food but I could probably stop them at any time and he would not miss them, with the exception of maybe at breakfast - so, I'm trying to think of a substitute for the infant oatmeal/pureed fruit combo.  Does anyone do the low sugar instant oatmeal packs?  Any other suggestions? TIA!

    I prepare regular oatmeal and then add in a container or 2 of the pureed fruit.  I buy the big canister of quaker oats and prepare as directed on the container with whole milk and then add in the fruit.  To make my life even easier, I prepare th

    We've been doing regular oatmeal since 6 months with either applesauce or mashed banana mixed in. He hated infant cereal.

    We started giving the babies Quaker oatmeal when they turned 1. I use the plain kind in the big container. I make it on the stove with milk then add a mashed up, very ripe banana and a little honey after it's cooked. My oldest is almost 4 and still eats t

    I usually use Quaker Oats with butter and cinnamon.  However, when I am in a hurry, I give the kids Rachel Ray oatmeal packets.  They are a healthier option, and super yummy.

    Nina likes a baked oatmeal I make with bananas and blueberries. I make a big pan and it lasts quite a few days. It's a quick and easy breakfast to have around especially when I am working and someone is watching her.

    Thanks everyone! It sounds like making the regular oats and mixing things in is easier than I thought it might be, and it's good to know it will last a few days (that helps in the time department!). We'll be giving that a try!

    We've been doing plain Quaker oatmeal since DD was about 10 months old or so.  I buy the plain in the canisters and then add various combinations of applesauce, vanilla yogurt, mashed fruit, and diced fruit to change up the flavor.

    DD only liked it in the very very beginning of offering solids. Now she loves the regular oatmeal with a little half n' half mixed in. I steam some raisins or apricots and she likes that too!
