Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Oatmeal

This post is just for fun - I have read that we are supposed to eat oatmeal for increased milk production -should we start ASAP or only when starting to pump?

Does anyone have any yummy recipes for oatmeal - so far I've been eating packets but can't do that 3x week! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Any ideas?

Oatmeal is just good for you!! Eat it now if you like but definitely eat it when you start pumping because it is good for production. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I add brown sugar. Waaaaaay more than I should, bit I like it that way.
I wonder if eating a lot of oatmeal cookies would be good also? (the really good homemade ones) I can do a lot of cookies. lol

oh I so agree with you! I could eat alot of oatmeal cookies also!
I try to eat oatmeal every morning. I also add brown sugar its pretty good that way!!!

Oatmeal cookies and oatmeal bars are actually good too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> As long as the extra calories won't bother you Go for it. Even lots of brown sugar doesn't counter effect the goodness of Oatmeal. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I add apples, cinnamon and brown sugar sometimes. Frozen or fresh berries in there as well. Oatmeal is a comfort food to me. I don't mind it at all - thank goodness. As for other recipes.... without tons of calories added, I'm not much help.
