Are oats good for kids?
I have seen some mothers start weaning with oats or even continue later on …specially morning time as kids don’t drink milk so a way to give milk too…..please oats are not for kids, yes oats are good in fibre.
They can deplete the body of vital minerals
They may bloat their small tummies and kids may feel full after eating small quantities and may not feel hungry for quite some time.
This is a stage when their nutritional needs are higher we need to feed them nutrient dense foods not just fibre and fill them up.
Similarly a home cooked usual breakfast like paratha, poha, upma, idli, uttapas are better with probiotics and other nutrients like proteins, vitamins which are systems are used to eating….
A balanced home cooked meal consisting of cereals ,pulses or dals , milk and its products along with fruit and vegetables is good enough to meet the requirement.
