Happy Bellies Oatmeal- question added
I was using Earths Best and went to Whole Foods other day and saw Happy Bellies were 2 for $5 so i got it.
I made it today and it kinda weirded me out. Just need some reassurance LOL. It was gray like in color when mixed w/ formula. And very gooey. I think i like the Earths Best better.
THOUGHTS?
ETA: grayer in color compared to Earths Best. Also, it seemed very "crystal-like". Is this normal?

Re: Happy Bellies Oatmeal
I use it, never noticed any weirdness. If it's too goey for you maybe just add more formula. DS loves it and I love that it has probiotics in it which is great for his digestion. 2 for $5 is a great price, I think I'm gonna run to Whole Foods today and get more!

Re: Happy Bellies Oatmeal- question added
this was the only cereal I used-- and I would sometimes think it looked grey too. Although I use colored bowls so I thought maybe it was the blue bowl, etc.
Not sure what you mean about the crystals-- but I only used BM or water to mix.

Re: Happy Bellies Oatmeal- question added
I agree with everyone else...never thought it was ever weird. A little on the grayish color, but just add more liquid to make the consistency more liquidy.

oh, you mean when dry... I did use Gerber once when I ran out on vacation and I couldn't find Happy Bellies... I think that HB is more ground, and the others do appear more like flakes. HTH!

Re: Happy Bellies Oatmeal- question added
we started with EB and then switched to Happy Bellies. I like that it has probiotics and I liked the canister better.. I felt like it kept it a lot fresher. Chloe seemed to like the taste better too
