Baby Oat Cereal

[Plum35]

I can not find any baby oat cereal in my local supermarket that does not contain maltodextrin or sugar - can anyone suggest any suitable for a 7 month old or how to make my own please?

Make porridge. It will be slightly lumpy but this should be fine for a 7 month old. just follow the instructions on the bag, but use whole milk instead of water. You can use breast milk if you can squeeze enough

Do you mean just buy some oats and make porridge with them? Also, this may be a ridiculous question but if you make some porridge each morning do you have to use a fresh carton of milk each time?

I use full fat cows' milk on cereal and just stick to the 'use within 3 days' thing. Just buy a pint, as so little is used.

(sorry, this was from 7m)

i used organix porridge - not sure what was in it though - but better i thought than some of the others. Bought cartons of formula to mix with - or was it just water - can't remember

bum! this

Isn't readybrek oats? I used to give that to ds, it is fairly smooth and no added salt or sugar.

Organix one is free from all the nasties.

But porridge (oats and full fat cows milk) is cheaper and easier. Make enough for you and your baby and eat together - good way to start the day! Add all sorts of fruit, etc - it's lovely!

i should think most supermarkets now carry organic oatmeal under their own label. I am slowly working thru a big bag of sainsbury's own organic oatmeal with dd. one of the first foods she accepted - I guess all the apple puree in it did the trick.
