Even though my supply is probably fine, I'm paranoid about the fact that lately DD has had to use both sides for one feeding instead of only one side like she used to. So I'd like to try oatmeal just to maintain my supply. Does it have to be the steel-cut oats or can it be instant? I googled it and I'm pretty much getting a 50/50 answer- some sources say instant works just fine, others say only steel-cut oats work. Kellymom says that anything with oats can work, including instant oatmeal and oatmeal cookies, but I was just wondering about others' experiences.

I buy the Quaker old fashioned oats or those new natural little buckets with nuts and fruit by Quaker. I also make chocolate chip oatmeal cookies weekly.

I try not to buy the instant oatmeal. I'm sure any kind would be fine though.

Quaker Old Fashioned, and it seemed to work.  I also drank lots and lots of water and drank Mother's Milk Tea.

I only had success with non-instant oatmeal. I had to eat it everyday for 2 weeks before I saw a difference.
