Both wheat and oats are nutrient-dense and have nutrients essential for your baby’s health (14). Oats have an advantage over wheat as they can be eaten as whole-grain cereal. They are also gluten-free, making them a safe option for gluten-intolerant babies or babies with celiac disease. However, wheat has higher protein levels than oats (15). Hence, it cannot be said that wheat is better than oats as both are good for your baby.
