Tips
Water should not be hot otherwise oat will form lumps.
You have to stir it continuously while cooking.
This dish does not require a long cooking time.
If it is too thick, add some cold water during cooking and continue to stir it.
Don't forget that the pudding will be thicker when it cools down.
So it should be a little fluid when you take it off the stove.
If your baby has just started solids, you may increase the amount of water to keep it more fluid.
There is no harm in cooking it with extra water.
If you think the amount of water you used was too much, no problem; just cook it for one or two more minutes.
Warnings
You may prepare the same recipe with cow's milk for children older than 1 year old.
Don't feed your babies cow's milk before they turn 1 year old.
Fungus may easily grow in oat and oatmeal.
So always make sure that the oat is fresh.
Buy oat only from very reliable markets.
Keep in mind that production and storage process of oat requires great attention and caution.
If you sense a heavy smell while cooking, don't serve it to your kids because it is possible that oat is stale.
Always taste it before serving it to your baby.
If it has a somewhat astringent or bitter taste, this can be considered as another sign that the oat is stale.
Keep in Mind
You may use breast milk or follow-on milk while cooking.
Gurme Bebek advises you to add milk after cooking process is completed so that milk is not exposed to high temperatures and does not lose nutritious elements.
