Steps

  1. In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats and breast milk/formula.

  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and cooked through.

  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  4. If desired, transfer the cooked oatmeal to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Otherwise, leave it as is for a chunkier texture.
