Super Simple Homemade Baby Food: Oatmeal Cereal

I love oatmeal because my chiquita Charis eats it like if it was ice cream, (ok, only I would reference that statement to ice-cream. I love the stuff... who wouldn't- even babies!)

It's super simple and doesn't require much, a lot of people think they have to buy the boxed kind. You already have it in your pantry, why not? All you need is a coffee grinder and baggies.

1cup of Whole Oatmeal (not the instant kind).

1 cup is sufficient, so it won't go stale on you.
Keep the grinder on hand so you can make as you go.

Try to use the ORGANIC stuff, their little tummies will thank you for it!

Clean the coffee grinder well and use it only for that purpose, I bought mine at a thrift store for 3 bucks!

before and After.  Go as fine as you can.

 Depending on baby, 7 months should be a good time to start them on oatmeal cereal.

Keep them in clean, new, zip lock bags in a dark cool place. 

Now you cook it when ever you are going to use it.

Another way is soaking it in distilled purified water over night.

 

Great thickening agent.

You can add it into anything!!! Apples are her favorite!

 If you all don't know, I don't feed her meat because I don't think a baby needs such a thing.  She gets her protein in so many other foods that really there is no need and unless I buy a whole organic breast just for her, which by the end of the process 99% ends up in the freezer, so why bother, besides, isn't this blog about SUPER SIMPLE stuff?

Now, when you can make such simple stuff that is oh so good for your baby, why buy the boxed stuff?

hope you guys get motivated to do this at home... let me know about your experiences!
