This is an organic whole grain oat baby cereal porridge labelled from 6 months. The recipe is 100% whole grain oats plus the small amount of vitamin B1 baby cereals are required to carry — and nothing else. No dairy, no added sugar, no salt, no spices and no artificial flavours.
The reason to buy a cereal like this is what is missing from it. There is nothing to decode on the label, nothing to look up, and no second ingredient competing with the oat. If you are the kind of parent who turns the box over before putting it in the trolley, this is the shortest list you will find on a cereal shelf.
Being plain also makes it the most useful box in the cupboard rather than the most exciting one. A whole grain oat porridge with no milk in it is a base: mix it with your baby's usual milk for a breakfast, or with water and a spoonful of fruit or vegetable puree for a dairy-free meal. The flavour you serve is the flavour you choose that morning, which is why a plain cereal tends to still be in use long after a flavoured one has been abandoned.
The oats are whole grain, which is what gives the porridge its rich, hearty texture and keeps the nutrients from the outer layers of the grain in the bowl rather than milling them away. Any sweetness in it is the grain's own — no sugar is added to this recipe at any point.
One honest caveat, because it decides whether this box is right for you: oats are a gluten-bearing cereal. This porridge contains gluten and may contain traces of wheat, so it is a step for a baby who has already met the gluten-free grains, not a first spoonful for one who has not. It is a European baby cereal from Holle, made for parents who want clean, minimalistic ingredients in their baby's diet.

Where it fits
Who is this porridge for?
It is for a baby from 6 months who is established on solids and has already met the earlier, gluten-free grains. It is called a very first oat porridge because it is a baby's first oat — a plain, unmixed introduction to the grain, not a first food in general.
The sensible way to introduce any new grain is on its own, a few days apart from anything else new, so that if something disagrees with your baby you know what it was. A single-grain cereal with a two-item label is the cleanest possible version of that test: there is no second grain, no fruit and no milk powder in the bowl to confuse the result.
Once oats are established it stops being a test and becomes the workhorse. This is the box you stir a vegetable puree into at lunch and your baby's milk into at breakfast, and it is the one that lets you make a dairy-free meal on a day when that matters.
Two Holle oat porridges, two ages — which one?
We list two Holle wholegrain oat porridges at two different ages. This one is labelled from 6 months. Its sibling, Holle Organic Oats Baby Porridge, is labelled from 5 months and carries Holle's Demeter declaration on the oats along with the manufacturer's liquid measurements. Buy by the age printed on the box you want.
Preparation · read first
How do you prepare this oat porridge?
There is no milk in the box — you add the liquid
This is a plain cereal, not a milk porridge. Nothing in it is milk, so you make it up with your baby's usual breast milk, infant formula, whole milk or water. This listing does not state Holle's exact liquid measurements, so follow the quantities printed on your own box and do not change the ratio of cereal to liquid unless a medical professional advises it.
Your liquidMilk, formula or water
Let it swellStand until it thickens
Spoon onlyNever in a bottle
Fresh each mealNever reheat, never microwave
1
Wash and sterilise
Wash your hands and sterilise the bowl and spoon. Everything that touches your baby's food should be clean before you begin.
2
Read your own box
Measure the cereal and the liquid using the quantities printed on your pack. The ratio is what keeps the meal balanced.
3
Warm the liquid
Heat the liquid you have chosen until it is warm, not hot. Water that is too hot makes the flakes clump instead of dissolving.
4
Stir the cereal in
Add the oat cereal to the warm liquid and stir until it is smooth, with no dry pockets at the bottom of the bowl.
5
Let it swell
Leave it to stand until it reaches the consistency your baby takes easily, then stir again. Thicker as your baby gets older.
6
Check and spoon-feed
Test it on the back of your hand or wrist — barely warm, never hot — and always feed it from a spoon, never through a teat.
Make a fresh portion for every meal and throw away whatever your baby does not finish — saliva on the spoon thins prepared porridge and it should not be kept or reheated. Do not use a microwave, which creates hot spots that can scald a baby's mouth. Store the box in a cool, dry place with the inner bag closed.
Three ways to serve it
What can you make with a plain oat cereal?
A plain cereal is three meals rather than one, because the liquid and anything you stir through it are yours to choose. This is the whole argument for buying an unflavoured box.
Serve it as
What you add
Good for
A milk breakfast
Your baby's usual breast milk or infant formula
The plainest version, and the first one to try
A dairy-free meal
Water only, with a teaspoon of a suitable oil
Keeping the meal milk-free when that matters
A cereal-fruit or cereal-vegetable meal
Water, plus a fruit or vegetable puree stirred through
Adding flavour without buying a flavoured box
Use the cereal-to-liquid quantities printed on your own box for each of these, and introduce anything you stir through it separately first.
Ingredients & allergens
What is in Baby's Very First Oat Porridge?
Allergy advice
Contains gluten (oats). May contain traces of wheat. Oats are a gluten-bearing cereal, so this porridge is not suitable for a baby avoiding gluten or wheat. Always read the panel printed on your own box before use, as manufacturers reformulate from time to time.
What is in it: 100% whole grain oats, with vitamin B1 added in the amount baby cereals are required to carry. There is nothing else in the recipe — no dairy, no added sugar, no salt, no spices and no artificial flavours.
100% whole grain oats
No dairy in the box
No added sugar
No salt or spices
No artificial flavours
Vitamin B1, as required
The vitamin B1 is there because European rules require baby cereals to carry it: milling grain reduces the thiamine naturally present, and B1 is what the body uses to release energy from carbohydrate and to keep the nervous system working normally. The only other thing in the bowl is oat. Keeping it to whole grain rather than refined flour is what gives this porridge its hearty texture and keeps the fibre and nutrients of the outer grain layers in the meal. Any sweetness you taste is the grain's own, because no sugar is added.

Questions parents ask
Baby's Very First Oat Porridge: frequently asked questions
What do I mix it with, and how much?
There is no milk in the box, so you add it: breast milk, infant formula, whole milk or water. This listing does not state the manufacturer's measurements, so use the cereal-to-liquid quantities printed on your own box and do not change the ratio unless a medical professional advises it.
What age is it for?
From 6 months, as this listing states. The name refers to a baby's first oat rather than a first food — it is a plain single-grain introduction to oats for a baby already eating solids.
Does it contain gluten?
Yes. Oats are a gluten-bearing cereal, so this porridge contains gluten and may contain traces of wheat. It is not suitable for a baby avoiding either.
Is there sugar in it?
No sugar is added. Any sweetness is the oat's own, which is the whole point of a two-ingredient cereal: whole grain oats and the required vitamin B1, and nothing else.
How is this different from your other Holle oat porridge?
The age. This one is labelled from 6 months; Holle Organic Oats Baby Porridge is labelled from 5 months and carries the Demeter declaration on its oats plus the manufacturer's liquid measurements. We keep both listed so you can buy by the age on the box you want.
Can I make it without milk?
Yes. Nothing in the box is dairy, so made up with water the finished meal is dairy-free. Many parents serve it that way with a fruit or vegetable puree and a teaspoon of oil stirred through.
Why would I choose a plain cereal over a flavoured one?
Because you control what goes in. A plain oat base can be a milk breakfast, a dairy-free meal, or a cereal-fruit meal, and you introduce each new flavour on its own rather than several at once in a pre-mixed box.
Can I give it in a bottle?
No. Cereal porridge is a spoon food. Feeding it through a teat is a choking and over-feeding risk, and it also defeats the purpose of moving your baby onto solids.
