BFing and oatmeal

Can I eat instant oatmeal? 

I remember reading something about lactation cookies, can I make oatmeal cookies, or do I have to use special ingredients?

  • Unfortunately, these aren't just regular oatmeal cookies, you must add flax seed and brewers yeast to the cookies.  But it actually all together tastes great!  You could also try drinking a beer a night, the darker the better.

    Yes, you can make those cookies but you need flax seed and brewers yeast.  IMHO they didn't work that well and the batch I made (4 dozen) took forever to eat.  Sure, they taste great at first but it says you should eat 4-5 a day, let me tell you, after the first 5 days, they don't taste that great anymore.

  • I disagree...they worked wonders for me, which other supplements didn't, and I loved them...I ate waaaaaay too many when I made them!

  • There is a store on Etsy that sells a baking mix for lactation cookies.  I haven't tried them but am going to order some when I go back to work. 
  • Ditto PPs about the cookies.  You have to make the special ones, regular oatmeal cookies won't do.

    As far as instant oatmeal, I have been eating it every day.  I have no idea whether it's made a difference in my supply (I've been doing it since I got home from the hospital), but I like to tell myself it does...
