9. It prevents constipation and gassiness
All that fiber brings another important benefit: it won’t cause constipation or gassiness. The fiber also makes oatmeal behave like a natural laxative, making it easier for baby to pass bowel movements without struggle.
10. It helps baby know when they are full
Oats are a healthy way to satisfy baby’s appetite. They promote feelings of fullness — which can help baby get used to that feeling and regulate their appetite.
This also helps set baby up for a lifetime of healthy eating habits, as baby will be more likely to choose this nutritious and filling food later on.
