Oatmeal

I went back to work last week and I am pumping 2-3 times a day at work.  At first, I was really frustrated with how little I was pumping, usually about 3 oz total per 20 minute session which wasn't enough to fill all of my son's bottles for daycare each day so I was supplementing with one bottle of formula which I wasn't happy about.  

I read about oatmeal increasing milk supply and it was worked like a charm!  I just eat a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast each morning and I made a batch of oatmeal cookies that I've been snacking on and now I'm getting 5+ oz total when I pump.  

Just wanted to pass on the tip because it really works!

    What kind of oatmeal are you eating? I've heard it has to be steel cut oats..is that true? How do you prepare it?

    I'm just eating regular Quaker Oatmeal.  I do 1/2 cup oat, 1 cup water in the microwave for 2 1/2 minutes.

    Yup!  I've been eating instant oatmeal with about 1/2 tsp. of brewer's yeast sprinkled on top, and it has given me a great supply.  I also got this recipe for lactation cookies off of the internet and I believe they've been very helpful too - co
