    Notes :
    • If the porridge becomes too thick, add boiled water/formula or breast-milk to adjust the consistency while feeding your baby.
    • You could also use ยพ cup of boiled cows milk instead of water for babies above one year.
    • Skip sweetener for babies below one year. Use fruit puree, dates syrup or raisins paste (soak raisins overnight and make a paste with little water using a blender and add it)
    • Always check with your doctor before giving any new food to your baby.

        I use different brands each time. Check out whether oats don't have preservatives or any extra ingredients added before buying. Check out more details about selecting oats here: https://gkfooddiary.com/oats-baby-food-recipes-can-give-my-baby-oats/
