Oats and Cereals

One of the good things about oats and cerels, other than many of their nutritious benefits, is that it is easy to make...

Lucky me, my little Arthur is very into the basic food. I seldom have to add any flavours to anything at all.

In fact, even if I were to serve him plain oats, he would finish them all. As he grows, just to make things a little more interesting as well as nutritious, I have been adding fruits to his breakfast routine and what better than oats and cereals to go with them?

Almost all fruits/food squishy is ok to go with oats and cereals though the pictured fruits are Arthur's all time favourites (i.e. blueberries, banana and kiwi).

Imagine squishy food, think mango, papaya, peach, plum, ripe pear, strawberries etc. etc.

If adding to just cooked oats, just remember to make sure the oats are cooled enough before giving to your little one as oats can contain heat pretty well.

Appropriate age to start oats? Well, from the day your little one starts on solids, you can slowly start introducing oats. Do start with the fine and easily digestable ones, though and do start a bit at a time... gradually build up the amount and add a type fruit a week or so.
