I eat old fashioned oats and have always ground them first into a powder to give to LO. Now that she has moved on from purées I don't grind them anymore and just prepare as I normally would for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-baby-food-q-about-oats#post-1035873 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:30:49 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1035873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I do both. Less in his solids, and usually only if it's runny like the peaches he just had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-baby-food-q-about-oats#post-1035861 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:27:44 +0000 looch 1035861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used straight up steel cut oats, once I finished the baby cereal one I had.</p> <p>In a pinch, I've also used rolled oats and I have also ground it in the food processor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-baby-food-q-about-oats#post-1035856 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:26:20 +0000 regberadaisy 1035856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: no idea. But I know that rolled oats is stripped of some nutrients. ie Not as nutritious as steel cut oats which is more of it's natural form. I buy steel cut oats and grind them into a powder for making oatmeal. I reserve rolled oats for baking, making pancakes, waffles etc.</p> <p>Are you talking about adding to bottles or feeding? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-baby-food-q-about-oats#post-1035844 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:23:01 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1035844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use oatmeal powder in bottles and add some to runnier purees. Is this the exact same thing and grinding oats into a powder? We have old fashioned oats for us, if I grind them to a powder, can I use them for the baby? </p>
