Does oatmeal really help with lactation?

Question

My breasts would leak a LOT second trimester, then it stopped

I'm 39 weeks and I started eating oatmeal everyday instead of cereal (not on purpose, I just don't feel like going grocery shopping lol) and now my breasts are leaking like crazy again!

Is this related to the oatmeal or just a coincidence

Answer

It will help with lactation once you have delivered your baby. Milk doesn't come in until 3 to 5 days postpartum. You are leaking colostrum

Answer

I wouldn't worry about it if your still pregnant I would say it's more common to not even leak while pregnant I never did. But it has nothing to do with how much milk you will make..Milk comes in a couple days after delivery and you'll most likely make so much you'll be uncomfortable until your milk regulates, if you find your supply low then, I would do things to increase then. I bought so much teas, and things to increase milk but I never even needed them! When the time comes though yes oats help I found eating a bowl of granola with ground flax seeds helped!

Answer

Oatmeal, flaxseed, chia seed. If you have Pinterest you should look up lactation cookies and smoothies.

Answer

Oatmeal can help increase milk production lol 
That's what I ate every morning when I was breastfeeding to help keep my supply going
