olive oil and oatmeal?

[Tootsie's mom]

wondering if i was going to make some homemade snacks for her is olive oil safe/good for her? and also can she eat oatmeal not like the instant stuff but real kind? if i wanted to put just a LITTLE to help thicken it??

I really think we would need to know what else is going into the mix before saying what is ok. A little goes a long way with either of these things.

Just veggies..... she is giving me a hard time eating veggies lately so I made a small batch... thought I would just see if she would eat it... she ate like it was the best thing ever!! But I wanted to get some opinions on if it would be okay daily... I put all her daily veggies peas, carrots,broccoli, red cabbage,celery, and butternut squash blended up with a bit of water Added about a tablespoon of olive oil and maybe two tablespoons of Oatmeal and then once it cooled put in a scoop of formula.

I looked threw it but they all seem much more than what I am trying to do I just want a way to get her to eat all her veggies because she got all picky on me and only wants snap peas.. I made something she loves! But was wondering if it is okay daily...

What is It?

[Tootsie's mom]

Just frozen blended veggies really..... I put a bit of oatmeal in to help its stick together and a bit of formula just because why not its healthy and the oil was really because I thought she would like it... which she does she loves it...

I put in freezer into little drops on wax paper because she loves frozen peas I was just trying to get creative because she is a picky butt all of a sudden and lost a bunch of weight. But I threw this together and she ate all day long.lol which I was soooo happy to see!!!

i think i will try my own version of this. its always a struggle with healthy veggies, love your idea and happy to hear that she eats it good

Awesome idea! I think I'll try that with Rose block mixed in for thickness and freeze in ice cube trays! She loves veggies but hates block! I tried booballs with baby food but I think the fresh/frozen mix might be the ticket! I don't have an answer about the olive oil or oats. Wondering about oats myself since Rose stays just a bit underweight as well. Thanks for the idea!
