This is a plain single-grain oat porridge for babies from 5 months, made from 100% wholegrain oat flour with the vitamin B1 European law requires, and nothing else. It is Demeter certified, it is milk-free, and you mix it yourself with your baby's own milk or with water. The box holds 250 g.
Two ingredients is the entire list. The wholegrain oat flour is gently unlocked with heat and moisture so the grain is easy for a baby to digest, and because it is wholegrain rather than refined, the nutrients that live in the outer layers of the oat stay in the porridge instead of being milled away.
Oats earn their place in weaning on substance. They carry more protein than most first grains, they are a dense source of energy, and the carbohydrate in them is easily digestible. They also bring unsaturated fatty acids and a high proportion of vitamin B1, which supports the nervous system and the way the body turns carbohydrate into energy. Oats are known for being gentle on digestion and stool-softening, which is why many parents reach for them when a rice-based porridge has been constipating.
Being plain is the point of it. A milk-free baby cereal leaves the liquid decision to you — breast milk, infant formula, whole milk or plain water — and it is a blank base you can stir fruit or vegetable puree into. It is the opposite of a milk porridge, which already contains milk powder and takes water only.
It is a European baby cereal grown to the Demeter standard, which is biodynamic farming and a stricter certification than organic alone. It is dairy-free with no added sugar or salt, and suitable for vegetarians and vegans. One thing to be clear about: oats contain gluten, so this is a step after the gluten-free grains, not before them.

Where it fits
Where does oat porridge come in the weaning order?
Oats come after the gluten-free single grains and before the multi-grain cereals. The usual order is rice or millet first, then oats, then a muesli or multi-grain once several grains are established — which is why this one is labeled from 5 months rather than as a very first spoonful.
Introducing one grain at a time, a few days apart, is what lets you tell which food caused a reaction if there is one. Oats are the first gluten-bearing grain most babies meet, and this porridge is deliberately plain so that the oat is the only new thing in the bowl.
From there it becomes a base rather than a meal in itself. Mixed with your baby's usual milk it is a breakfast; mixed with water and a fruit or vegetable puree plus a teaspoon of oil it becomes a milk-free cereal-fruit meal. That flexibility is why a plain cereal usually outlasts a flavored one in the cupboard.
Two Holle oat porridges, two ages — which one?
We list two Holle wholegrain oat porridges at two different ages. This one is labeled from 5 months, carries the Demeter mark on its oats, and has Holle's full liquid measurements below. Its sibling, Baby's Very First Oat Porridge, is labeled from 6 months. Buy by the age printed on the box you want.

How do you prepare Holle Organic Oats Baby Porridge?
You choose the liquid — and the amount changes with it
There is no milk powder in this box, so you make it up with breast milk, infant formula, whole milk or water. The quantity of liquid is not the same for each one — see the table below. Do not change the proportions of cereal to liquid unless a medical professional tells you to, because the ratio is what keeps the nutrients in balance.
Your liquidBreast milk, formula, milk or water
Let it swellStand until it thickens
3 weeksUse within 3 weeks of opening
Fresh each mealNever reheat, never microwave
1
Wash and sterilize
Wash your hands and sterilize the bowl and spoon before you start. Everything that touches a baby's food should be clean.
2
Heat the liquid
Warm the liquid you have chosen. Measure it with the table below — the amount depends on which liquid you are using.
3
Add the cereal
Add the oat flakes to the warmed liquid, not the other way round. Pouring liquid onto dry powder tends to leave lumps.
4
Mix well
Stir until it is smooth all the way through and no dry pockets are left at the bottom of the bowl.
5
Let it swell
Leave it to stand until it thickens to the consistency your baby takes easily. Stir again if it stiffens too much.
6
Check the temperature
Test it on the back of your hand or your wrist before it reaches your baby. It should feel barely warm, never hot. Spoon-feed it.
Liquid you choose
How much
Good to know
Breast milk
130 ml
The smallest volume of the three options
Holle infant milk
150–170 ml
Made from cow's or goat's milk, prepared as usual first
Whole milk or water
200 ml
Water keeps the meal milk-free; whole milk is for older babies
Prepare a fresh portion for every meal and discard any leftovers after feeding — do not reheat or reuse prepared porridge, because saliva on the spoon thins it. Do not use a microwave, which creates hot spots that can scald. Store the cereal in a cool, dry place and use it within 3 weeks of opening.
Plain cereal or milk porridge?
What is the difference between this and a milk porridge?
This is a plain cereal: no milk in the box, and you add the liquid. A milk porridge already contains milk powder and is made up with water only. Confusing the two is the most common preparation mistake there is, and it matters — a milk porridge made with milk ends up over-concentrated.
How they differ

If you ever lose track of which kind you are holding, read the ingredient list: if you see milk powder or whey, it is a milk porridge and takes water only.
Ingredients & allergens
What is in Holle Organic Oats Baby Porridge?
Allergy advice
Contains gluten. Oats are a gluten-bearing cereal, so this porridge is not suitable for a baby avoiding gluten. It may contain traces of WHEAT. Always read the panel printed on your own box before use, as manufacturers reformulate from time to time.
On the label
Ingredients and more
WHOLEGRAIN OAT FLOUR** 100%, thiamine (vitamin B1, vitaminized according to law)
** Demeter (from biodynamic agriculture).
Allergens: OATS, and therefore gluten. May contain traces of WHEAT.
Reproduced word for word from the declaration Holle publishes for this porridge. The panel printed on the box you receive is the one that governs.
Without milk
100% whole grain oats
No added sugar or salt
No spices or flavors
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
Vitamin B1, as the law requires
The thiamine in the list is not an optional extra. European law requires baby cereals to be fortified with vitamin B1, because milling and processing grain reduces what is naturally there, and B1 is what the body needs to release energy from carbohydrate and to keep the nervous system working normally. Everything else in the bowl is oat. There is no added sugar in this porridge; the sugar the nutrition panel counts is the sugar naturally present in the grain.
How far it goes
How far one box goes
The box holds 250 g of cereal. How many portions that comes to depends on how much cereal goes into one bowl, which Holle does not publish for this porridge, so no portion count is given here.
The box holds 250 g, and why that still is not a portion count
Portions per box is a simple division — the net weight divided by the cereal in one portion. The net weight is 250 g, but Holle does not publish a per-portion cereal quantity for this porridge, so the second figure in that division is missing and any portion count would be invented. None is given here. The weight printed on your own box is the one that governs.
What Holle does publish is how much liquid goes into one serving, and that differs by which liquid you choose. Those three volumes are the useful planning numbers here, and they are repeated below.
Liquid you choose
How much, per serving
What it gives you
Breast milk
130 ml
The smallest volume of the three
Holle infant milk
150 to 170 ml
Prepared as usual first, then stirred in
Whole milk or water
200 ml
Water keeps the meal milk-free
One other thing does bear on how long a box lasts, and it is a firmer limit than the portion count: once opened, use the cereal within 3 weeks. A box kept longer than that should be replaced whatever is left in it.
The three liquid volumes are Holle's own for this cereal. The 250 g net weight is taken from the product itself. No number of portions is claimed, because Holle publishes no per-portion cereal quantity for this product. Store the box in a cool, dry place with the inner bag closed and use it within 3 weeks of opening.
Whichever you prefer, because there is no milk powder in the box: 130 ml of breast milk, 150 to 170 ml of prepared Holle infant milk, or 200 ml of whole milk or water. Heat the liquid first, add the cereal, stir and let it swell. Do not change the proportions unless a medical professional advises it.
What age is it for?
From 5 months, as this listing states. Oats come after the gluten-free grains in the weaning order, so it suits a baby who has already had rice or millet rather than one taking a first spoonful.
Does it contain gluten?
Yes. Oats are a gluten-bearing cereal and this porridge is 100% oat, so it is not suitable for a baby avoiding gluten. It may also contain traces of wheat.
Is it dairy-free?
The porridge itself contains no milk at all, so it is dairy-free in the box. Whether the finished meal is dairy-free depends on the liquid you choose — made up with water it stays milk-free.
How is this different from your other Holle oat porridge?
The age. This listing is labeled from 5 months and carries Holle's Demeter declaration on the oats, with the full liquid measurements above. The other is labeled from 6 months. They are listed separately so you can buy by the age you want.
Why oats rather than rice?
Oats carry more protein than most first grains, bring unsaturated fatty acids and a high proportion of vitamin B1, and are known for being easily digestible and stool-softening. Many parents move to oats when a rice porridge has been constipating. The trade-off is that oats contain gluten and rice does not.
Can I mix fruit or vegetables into it?
Yes, and that is one of the main reasons to keep a plain cereal in the cupboard. Made up with water and stirred together with a fruit or vegetable puree, it becomes a milk-free cereal-fruit meal rather than a milk breakfast.
How long does the box keep once opened?
Use it within 3 weeks of opening, and store it in a cool, dry place with the inner bag closed. Prepared porridge is a different matter — make it fresh for each meal and throw away whatever is left.
Written from Holle's own published product page for this porridge, which gives the two-ingredient declaration above word for word, the Demeter marking, the may-contain-WHEAT trace, and an age of from the 5th month that agrees with the age on this product. The three liquid volumes are Holle's own for this cereal. The vitamin B1 statement is the authorized wording for that nutrient and nothing further is claimed for it. The 250 g net weight and the age are taken from the product itself. Holle publishes no per-portion cereal quantity for this porridge, so no portions-per-box figure has been calculated and the section on how far the box goes says so rather than estimating one.
