Family Forum / Pregnancy / Breastfeeding / October 2006Oatmeal or is this my imagination?
I'd read recently that eating oatmeal helps milk supply. So I've been having oatmeal off and on, and wow! My boobs are about to explode.Is this for real or is it just my imagination? I know beer is supposed to work too but DD doesn't like beer :( gives her gas. I do drink Mother's Milk tea daily, just 'cause I need something hot and she also can't handle caffeine so I figure I might as well. But the tea doesn't have nearly this effect. > I'd read recently that eating oatmeal helps milk supply. So I've been > having oatmeal off and on, and wow!

Yeah I've heard that before. Never had to try it. Kellymom says: http://www.kellymom.com/bf/supply/oatmeal.html rj > I'd read recently that eating oatmeal helps milk supply.

It definitely works for me. -- Anita -- > I'd read recently that eating oatmeal helps milk supply. So I've been > having oatmeal off and on, and wow!

Oatmeal works for me. The tea not so much.  SignatureNikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 > I'd read recently that eating oatmeal helps milk supply.

But the tea doesn't have nearly this effect. I'd never heard of this, but I'm trying to get a supply in the freezer so I thought I'd give it a try. This is day three. I did manage to pump four ounces first thing this morning, which took me all day to do on and off last week. So between the oatmeal and the pumping (and DS waking me up all night to nurse!) perhaps the supply is increasing! KD & G I had heard of this, and tried it, it seemed to work for me. I have also tried fenugreek - with only 2 capsules the first morning I was full and leaking the entire day. I think that day I had enough milk to feed the entire neighbourhood's kids! > I'd read recently that eating oatmeal helps milk supply. So I've been > having oatmeal off and on, and wow!

But the tea doesn't have nearly this effect. doesn't work for everyone, but oatmeal make me have a huge supply as well. never tried any of the other galactagogues to see if they have a profund effect as well.
