Question
Can I give my 13 month old baby quaker oats?
Answer
Thank you for your question.
The Department of Health advises that children over the age of
12 months be given family foods. So it's fine to start introducing
adult foods to your 13 month old, as long as you make sure that
they are the right texture and do not pose a choking hazard.
When making porridge for your toddler, make sure the oats are
well soaked and cooked through till they are soft. Also stir
well and test the temperature before serving to ensure that there
are no hot spots.
