How to Make Oatmeal for Baby

by | Updated: July 29th, 2019 | Read time: 1 minute

As an adult, the prospect of eating a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast may not exactly be an exciting one. But for a baby or toddler, homemade oatmeal can be a tasty morning treat, especially when served airplane-style (“Here comes the oats!”) OR self-fed with a tot-friendly utensil. Bonus for busy moms and dads: it’s quick to make and easy to customize to your little one’s tastes! Plus, baby oatmeal offers a simple way to sneak in a serving of powdered probiotics, which support both digestive and immune health.†
