Can I give him Quaker oat to my 8 months son? I use to prepare his pap by my self and the pap is the mixture of millet, Dawa and corn. Then in preparing it, I do add red oil and after making it, I now add crayfish and his formula but my neighbour told me to be putting only soya bean that its rich than all these things I'm missing in his food. Please, I want to know if I'm on the right track also

You can also give oats with any age appropriate formula.
You can also add butter/palm oil, crayfish/egg to make it a balanced meal

You are doing great already. There is nothing wrong with what you are doing. You can also add soya bean to the pap if you wish to. But give the soya bean separately if introducing for the first time in case of allergy.
