So our ped gave us the go ahead to introduce M to oatmeal cereal (she's 4 mths) once a day. What brands do you guys like? I am most likely going to start with Earth's best organic oatmeal. Thoughts?

@crash806: did your ped explain why he OK'ed it since now most are saying 6months? Just curious if there's a reason specific to your LO? Thanks!

I have never tried this but apparently you can put regular oatmeal in a food processor so it chops up really fine...

@regberadaisy: He said it was more for learning to eat as opposed to nutrition (as we are going to thin it out big time with milk). Learning how to swallow, hand-eye coordination.

@crash806: we got Earth's Best too because of all the good reviews. We even skipped the rice because I'm waiting until he turns 6 mos in a few weeks.

@sloaneandpuffy: I have heard of this as well, I plan to do this when baby is 6 months. Although I think I may use regular quaker oatmeal.
@Clementine: Is there a difference between regular oatmeal and earths best?

We use Earth's best. The nice thing about baby oatmeal over regular is that you don't have to cook it. It is precooked and then dehydrated.
