  I have been wondering this too! I eat muesli every morning (with oats in it) and wondered if that is just as good - or do the oats need to be cooked? And, really, how does it help supply???

  Well, its non-scientific, so there are only guesses.  Some is that it is high in iron, which can help.  As a comfort food, some people find it relaxing.  And, a lot of the things meant to help also reduce cholesterol...whatever it is that helps do that may also affect milk supply.

  So the quick answer:  we don't know for sure.  All you can do is try it and see.
