Notes
- To Store: Place leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator. To reheat, add hot water to thin out, stir and serve.
- To Freeze: Spoon baby oatmeal into freezer cube tray and freeze overnight. Pop cubes out and place in a labeled freezer bag. Baby oatmeal can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Liquid of Choice: Use breast milk or formula in place of water if you prefer. You can use cow’s milk if making oatmeal for a 1 year old or older.
- Start Gradually: Begin with small amounts of oatmeal cereal mixed with water breast milk, or formula. Start with a thin consistency and gradually thicken it as your baby becomes more accustomed to solids.
- Use other grains: You can use other grains like quinoa or brown rice in this recipe if you prefer. Just puree into a powder the same way and follow the instructions.
