Anyone give their babies oatmeal in their bottles?

Personally I stay away from it! I recently learned that it can be harmful to serve it to babies especially under 1 year. Their digestive systems are still very immature and I just avoid giving them oats or wheat. As they get older it can lead to digestive issues. I love the @wildnutritionist account to learn more!! I’ve learned a ton about solids and healthy foods to give my baby there.
I’m sorry you’re feeling drained, but that is a choking hazard, so please don’t add anything to your baby’s bottle. I would recommend speaking to your pediatrician about feeding. You can definitely ask when they recommend starting solids! And then I would check out @solidstarts and @101beforeone on instagram.
I agree with @Marlana
@Bree do you need a special bigger nipple for this ?
It’s a choking risk and there’s no need to give anything other than formula or breast milk until at least 6 months
Hey! My baby has been taking oatmeal cereal in his bottle since 1.5 months for reflux it’s definitely safe ❤️ he prefers the thickened milk now and won’t take weak milk. It adds extra calories :) The ratio is 1teaspoon of oat cereal per ounce of milk or formula. I use Gerber baby oat cereal 1st solids. I saw the Kendamil oatmeal in the store today and it has added dairy so that’s something to keep in mind. The gerber is purely oat.
