Oatmeal - DPO,AA

I think my daughter started early, before 12 mon. She loves it. Try mixing it with pureed fruit. At 18 months she loves it with a can of diced pears, peaches...anything. Its fun watching her make a mess of herself.

my daughter was eating regular oat meal as soon as she quit baby food. that was like at 10 months. i would still use her juice to flavor it and i made hers thicker so she didnt make a mess. but i your worried about it being too thick then make it a little more liquidy and slowly build up the thickness. :)

Hi M.,
Both my boys started regular oatmeal by the time they each turned one. Just add a little extra water so it doesn't "gag."

Hey M.,
I switched my daughter to instant oatmeal, the individually packaged and flavored ones, when she was 12 monthes without any issues. She liked it much more then the baby cereal I couldn't feed her fast enough!
Hope this helps!

My older son started eating baby cereals at 4 months. By month 9 he was eating pretty much whatever we had. Son #2 was 5 months and was not quiet as fast with the regular table food but by month 15 I think both were eating whatever we had.

i agree with the other mom, if u like u can change instead of water try it with milk, but make it easier to swallow

My kids use to help me eat my oatmeal as soon as they could stand up with help by my chair. After that I would try making them a bowl & they still only wanted to eat out of mommy's bowl. At 15 months she should have a few teeth... so she should be able eat a bit more.

Best thing is try a bit or two and see how she does... even if it's from your bowl.

My daighter got regular oatmeal as soon as she started "chunky" foods, probably around 8 months. If I ever have another child I won;t do baby cereal at all, just run regular cereal through the food processor... that's all it is!
