Start by cooking the baby rice cereal or oats according to the package instructions. This usually involves combining the cereal with water and simmering until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.

Once the cereal is cooked, gently stir in 1 cup of expressed breast milk. The addition of breast milk not only enhances the creaminess but also introduces valuable nutrients and antibodies to the oatmeal.

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or incorporating mashed fruits such as banana or applesauce. While optional, we do recommend offering a variety of flavors and textures to your baby and this is an easy way to do that with a simple meal.
