can I feed my baby oatmeal instead of putting it in a bottle?

Putting anything other than milk in a bottle is very outdated advice and is a choking hazard
@Jessica the ped said it was fine but the nipples never hold either its too big or dosent come out entirely
@Cody usaslly they suggest bigger nipples but ut would clog the bottle so I gave up haha
yeah you're actually not supposed to put it in the bottle!
It’s 100% a choking hazard to put it in a bottle. Outdated practice and I personally wouldn’t trust any pediatrician who recommends it.
Never put anything other than milk in a bottle. You should really wait until all signs of readiness for solids before giving any (unless for medical reasons needing to start early)
Please don't put food in bottles! Nothing in there other than milk! If you've been given the go ahead to start solids then feed them to your baby 😊
i couldn’t imagine it being good in a bottle ? the teat only has a small hole 😅 definitely spoon feed
