Apple and Oats are very nutritious and high fiber foods, together make a hearty nutritious meal for your baby.Rather than giving as plain apple porridge for babies or oats porridge for babies, this combo works out great.
My son is not very fruit savvy, so I tried out this Apple oats combination and it worked out great. Still, now I make it for him and he calls it the ” White Liquid Kheer ” and doesn’t know what goes into it!!!
Please follow the 3 Day Rule before introducing any new food.
Always sterilize the utensils and equipment needed for cooking baby food.

Can I give my 6 month old daughter this?
Hi Vasundhara,
If you have already introduced apple and oats porridge separately, and your child is alright then yes you can feed this combination to your child. Please make sure you have introduced the basic foods.
Hi
My friend says that blending in a mixer reduces the nutritional value of the food. Is that true. If it is how can I feed my 10 month old without blending
Hi,
Your friend is partially right.Heating food will reduce nutritive value, but the heat produced by blender is very low and will not have impact so you can use blender as per your need.
I tried this receipe but the taste came out bitter. Can u pls tell me whats wrong?

My son is now 21 months old and can chew potato chips, biscuits but when I try to give smashed khichri or porridge, he directly swallow it, never chew.
That’s why I am grinding everything and giving him.
I am worried about his chewing part. How to make him chew the food which I want him to have?
How to ensure that he eats the same quantity which I am grinding now?
I feel when he chew the food, the quantity of food may reduce.
Please suggest.
