Apple oats porridge is a highly nutritious and fiber-rich meal for your baby. Rather than giving plain apple porridge or oats porridge for babies, the combination of apple oats porridge works out great.
If your child is not very fruit savvy, trying out this apple oats combination can be a wonderful solution. My son personally loves it and calls it “White Liquid Kheer” without knowing what goes into it!
Before introducing any new food, remember to follow the 3 Day Rule. It’s also important to sterilize the utensils and equipment needed for cooking baby food.
To ensure you select the right type of oats for babies, refer to the article “How to Select Oats for Babies?” for helpful guidance.

Notes
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?
Hi Subhashini, it might be that the oats or apple turned out to be of odd taste. Check and try with different set of oats if needed.
Hi. I am trevelling. I will only have kettle boiled water but no stove. Can u please tell if i can make oats there. I have instant powdered oats
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.
