Start with good ol' fashioned quaker oats.
Grind them up in the food processor. If your baby is older, you can leave it a little chunkier.
You are supposed to sprinkle and stir at the same time. Hard to do when taking a picture and sprinkling at the same time. And that burner behind the pan is stained not dirty.
I mixed in a cube of banana/blueberry puree. Pretty purplely goodness!
Extra points if you can spot what is wrong with this picture! Hint: It was something he was snacking on while I was making his oatmeal.

What a good idea. Since Jack is starting his oatmeal consumption at 8 months he may one day have eaten more than his great grandpa did, but it's doubtful. Your pictures continue to be great shots. Why had he been eating vitamins?
Cheerios! Not vitamins...
I was totally wondering how to make "real" oatmeal for baby! Thanks for the tip! She's almost old enough to gum the real stuff now, but I'm thinking this may be a good alternative until she gets some top teeth in. With a little applesauce...yum!
