@Nattinan thank you!!
Mine just went straight onto supermarket own brand when weaning at 6 months. Way cheaper than formula brands 😅
If baby is under 6 months there’s no reason to give them porridge as it carries very little nutritionally and can reduce the milk intake reducing their essential nutrition. There’s also links now being made between early weaning and ibs
Normal porridge is fine! Don't pay over the odds for formula brands!
You can just buy normal oats and if you want to blend the oats tilm they're fine and mix with milk, water or formula. Check the ingredients as a lot of baby oats have barely any oats in them
Use normal oats! these brands are terrible for our children xx

Any oats, any porridge that’s made for baby is fine to consume and combined with any formula brands. You can check the ingredients in them if you’re worried that there might something your baby could be allergic to, but as long as they’re made for baby they’ll be fine.
