Nutrition note

Contains protein, B1 and B5 vitamins, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and manganese. A fantastic source of soluble fibers as well. Oats must be administered with water in the form of oatmeal or water can be given after consuming an oat-based recipe in order to have a stool-loosening effect. In addition to being rich in nutritious carbs, oatmeal and oats also include beta-glucan, a unique type of fiber that is particularly good for the gut and immune system. With smaller levels of other minerals, such as folate, choline, iron, magnesium, and selenium, to name a few, they are a wonderful source of zinc, which promotes a baby's immune system, sense of taste, and sense of smell.
