Very good deal when Subscribe and Save which we have delivered every 1-2 months.

Oatmeal DHA Cereal is not easy to find. Not available in most stores like Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Target, etc. I don't know why they carry the DHA Rice, but not the DHA Oatmeal Cereal.

Oatmeal Cereal my son eats mixed with breast milk and has no constipation issues like he had with the Rice. He started this cereal at 4 months old. Now he's 11 months. Really enjoys eating this still.

The 8 ounce canisters are better packed than box cereal I've opened. I will definitely keep feeding him this.

My son loves this oatmeal, and we go through it so quickly that I'm glad to be able to order it in a pack of six canisters. I've previously bought this same product in boxes, and the canister design works so much better than the boxes. With the boxes, I always felt that I was having to throw away the last several tablespoons, because the packaging was so poorly designed. The canisters work well, and they can double as a cheap toy when the oatmeal is gone.

The taste seems to be good (though I often add some cinnamon for good measure), and I'm glad to know my son is getting DHA in his regular diet. Those with food allergy concerns should be aware that this product contains B Lactis cultures.

I love this oatmeal, and so do my kids, but recently its been harder to find. Wal-mart in all their infinate wisdom removed it from their shelves at our local store when they did their last store makeover. You can get it at Target, if they have it on the shelves. Since I found it on Amazon I just buy it by the case. My 1 and 2 year olds both love it for breakfast and I think its way better for them than regular oatmeal. I hope amazon never stops carring it. :)

Of course, it is nice that this cereal is in a canister (so there is less mess), but I also love knowing my son is getting DHA. We used this cereal exclusively with my 2 1/2 year old when she was a baby.

I believe it's good for my child. Though he does not like it very much, he still accept it. However I believe oat is a kind of good food.

This is the first and only rice cereal I ever used(because I don't know any others),my baby like it never had any problem,Pls it has DHA and its oatmeal.

I have used this oatmeal with all three of my children and they love it. I am glad Amazon sells it because our local Walmart stopped carrying it. Thanks Amazon :)

I bought several case of it, thinking my little baby girl will like it. Nope, she does not like it mixed with water or milk. It does not mix well with soup. Since it has a mild sweet taste to it, it will ruin the flavor of the soup. She is picky, what can I say.

Finally, after many tries, we finally figured out a way to feed her the cereal: mix the cereal with formula/milk; pour into a pan and warm it up on the stove; while heating it up, stir constantly to ensure they are mixed together; once well mixed, let it cool and then pour into bottle to feed. I had to cut the silicone nipple in order to accommodate the thick liquid.

We feed her this mix once or twice daily. As she grows, formula/milk alone do not last as long as they used to. To keep her stomach content, night time feeding is essential, so she does not awake from hunger in the middle of the night. A bit of work, but I think it is worth it.
