Curd Oats Recipe for Babies & Toddlers

By swasthi , on June 3, 2019, 28 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Curd oats recipe for babies & toddlers. In the past I had shared few recipes for babies & toddlers using oats. Many readers had a question “Will oats reduce my baby’s weight ?”. Thought of sharing my opinion about it here.

Oats is one of the super food since they are 100% whole grain and provides us with unlimited health benefits. Oatmeal has been hyped a lot by the weight loss industry as a tool to lose weight effectively. But to lose weight it has to be eaten at least twice in a day along with low calorie and nutrient dense foods. Using full fat milk, full fat yogurt, egg yolk, butter or sweeteners in oatmeal will not help to lose weight. Also eating low calorie and nutrient rich foods at every meal or snack along with exercise is crucial for a effective weight loss .

While making baby food with oats, it has to be prepared along with high fats and high calorie ingredients like full fat milk, unflavored full fat unsweetened yogurt, ghee, butter, dal, egg or lentils. This doesn’t contribute to weight loss but your baby will be more healthy by absorbing nutrient from oats & other ingredients used. You may want to revisit these oats recipes which are prepared that way.

You can very well serve oats to your baby and toddler 2 to 3 times in a week. It helps in constipation and to sleep well. Oats is a natural source of melatonin which helps to sleep well.

Do not use cold or sour yogurt/ curd for baby’s food. Use rolled oats, avoid instant and quick cook oats.

3. Add yogurt (room temperature) and salt. I use Himalayan pink salt, you may want to use it too. It is unrefined chemical free mineral salt.

4. You can use a generous pinch of cumin / jeera powder. Add grated carrots & onions. Mix well. Onions are said to increase immunity and bring down the body heat, you can use after 18 months. If your toddler cannot still eat grated carrots, skip it.

    hello,
    kindly tell me that is it ok to mix yogurt with honey?

      Hi Zari,
      We usually don’t mix honey with anything except warm water, lemon juice, ginger juice and pepper. But yogurt with honey is an unusual combo. If it is for the kid, I would suggest not to unless it is occasionally.

          Hi Zarri
          After antibiotics we use the probiotic capsules for atleast 10 days and then fresh made yogurt regularly. Incase of phlegm no yogurt is given.

      Hi Lakshmi
      I am good. Thanks. Hope you had a good time these holidays. If your baby gets no phlegm, cold or cough then you can give ragi regularly, any time. I mostly give it before 5 pm & avoid when it is raining as it causes phlegm in my kids very soon. You can give rolled oats with milk, nuts, dates or egg 3 to 4 times in a week. Without nuts & milk it may cause weight loss. Hope this helps.

      Hi Halima
      Glad to know more about you. Thanks a lot for the compliments. Yes you can also feed quick cook oats, two to 3 times a week. If you find rolled oats anytime, you can stop this and give rolled oats. Hope this helps

    HI Mam
    Your recipes are so good. My baby loves to eat yogurt. Sometimes she rejects khichdi and eat only when I add little yogurt in it. Is it ok adding yogurt to every baby food?

      Hi REshma
      Thank you
      It is not good to add curd to every food and especially with khichdi it may not digest and leads to colic. Instead you can feed only curd rice or plain curd sometimes

      Hi Anamika,
      Yes you can use it if the mix has no additives like preservatives etc. I am not sure of this brand. But I suggest you cook fresh if possible. If you working and not possible, then you can refrigerate it immediately when the food cools. Mix with little water, reheat until the food begins to bubble up very well and cook for 2 to 3 mins. Cool then feed.

          Hi Devi,
          Dont know whick milk you are using. Sometimes it is the milk that doesn’t suit the babies. The first indication would be vomiting. I guess it should be that. Try with a different formula or milk. To find out stop milk completely for 2 to 3 days and keep her only on solids. In the night give rice porridge with ghee before sleeping. This should keep her full till early morning or atleast till 4am. Try this for 3 days, then start her on a new formula or milk

    Hi swathi,

    Do you also believe that curds can trigger a common cold?. In this recipe can I add something to prevent a cold?

    Thanks for your reply,

      Hi Zeeba
      Yes you can add a pinch of ginger or pepper or carom powder. I suggest not to serve yogurt during cold. Yes it can trigger cold, Reason is during cold one doesn’t have the ability to digest heavy foods. And curd is very heavy for digestion, so undigested curd becomes toxins and turns to phlegm and worsen congestion.

      Hi Shwetha
      I suggest you to go thru the post on indian baby food chart for the food menu and post on weight gaining foods. You can find the links in the related posts. Both will help you to make your own chart for your girl. She should be getting 2 servings of fruits, 2 servings of milk/ yogurt/ paneer, 2 protein based meals including dal, egg etc. 2 healthy snacks and heavy brekafast in a day. 30 to 40 mins before a meal give her fruits that helps her to improve her appetite.

      Hi Rathika
      Yes all is well. Hope the same from you too. Yes even during summer, due to virus one may get cold, sore throat etc. I usually do not add any sweetener to the juice, If it is sour then i add a pinch of salt and half tsp organic sugar. I fear they get used to sweet drinks. I add very little even for milk. Trying giving her without sugar, if she doesn’t like then add half tsp
