Baby oatmeal is a simple and nutritious first food for infants. Here's how to prepare and serve it:

Preparation Instructions:

  1. Measure the oatmeal: Pour or spoon the desired amount of baby oatmeal cereal into a clean bowl.
  2. Mix with liquid (for Babies):
    • For babies: Stir in breastmilk or infant formula to achieve the desired consistency. The amount of liquid will vary based on the thickness you prefer.
  3. Mix with liquid (for Toddlers):
    • For toddlers (over one year): Mix the oatmeal with milk, water, or GERBERĀ® Juice.
  4. Serving:
    • Serve the oatmeal as-is or warm.
  5. Discard leftovers: Always discard any unfed cereal. Do not save and re-serve.

Tips for Feeding:

  • Start with a thin consistency and gradually thicken it as your baby gets used to eating solids.
  • Always check the temperature of the oatmeal before feeding to ensure it's not too hot.
  • Never add salt, sugar, or honey to your baby's oatmeal.
