Oatmeal for solids?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Oatmeal is a safe and nutritious option generally given from the 6th month during solids. Your baby should show readiness signs—holding their head up, sitting with support, and showing interest in food.
Oatmeal is gluten-free, so it's less allergenic than rice or wheat, but when you introduce it, start alone in a small amount and wait 2-3 days before trying anything new—this lets you spot any reaction. Mix it with breast milk or formula to get the right consistency—a smooth puree—and don't add sugar, salt, or honey. Watch your baby's response carefully before moving on to a new food. Every baby is unique, so adjust amounts based on your own baby's hunger and tolerance.
