Does oatmeal really help boost supply?

Question

I'm trying to boost my supply, I feed baby every 3 hrs and try to sneak in some pumping but have never got more than 3 Ozs from both breast while pumping. Any tips? Does eating oatmeal actually help? If so how do you eat yours?

Answer

In my La Leche League group yeaterday they were talking about how much milk you are able to pump out is no indication of how much milk your baby is actually getting. Your baby is much better at getting milk out of your breasts than a pump.

Answer

I wish I could get 3 oz :(

Answer

I've heard it's the only food scientifically proven to boost supply. Are you breastfeeding and pumping or exclusively pumping?

Answer

So far it hasn't done anything for me, :(

Answer

How old is baby? If you're EBF and pumping you're actually creating an oversupply. 3 oz is a lot! Check out kellymom.com for info on pumping. It should take you several pumping sessions to get enough for one feeding while you're breastfeeding. Sounds like you're doing great!

Answer

I love oatmeal, but did prior to baby. I eat a bowl every morning. You can always add stuff to it so you enjoy it more (fruit, peanut butter, sunflower butter, spices-pumpkin spice, cinnamon, etc). There are a lot of overnight oats and "muffin" recipes you can try too that change the texture of it if that's your issue. Not sure if it increases my supply, but it is really good for you and in turn your LO!

Answer

Yes. Doubled my supply in just a few days

Answer

I have literally been trying everything to boost my supply! I dreaded doing the oatmeal-it just groses me out! just recently got a bag of granola for my yogurt and WOW I can tell a huge difference when I eat this versus when I dont!! I plan on making my own soon!
