I cannot believe the change in my milk supply just from eating oatmeal for breakfast. My LO recently started tugging at my nipples after nursing for a while and kicking her legs and grumbling in frustration before deciding she was done nursing. Then an hour and a half later she would want to nurse again. I am doing quite a lot of heavy exercise so I started to wonder if I was having a supply problem (even though I am drinking gallons of water and have met with a dietician to try to prevent supply issues due to heavy exercise). Yesterday I had oatmeal for breakfast and LO did not tug at my nipples at all and only woke ONCE in the night to nurse (as opposed to her usual 3-4 times). So I had oatmeal again this morning and have been able to pump a 5 oz bottle of milk just from pumping out what was left in the breast after 3 nursing sessions. I'm so excited! Prior to this I would be lucky to pump 5 oz in a week! If anyone is having supply issues, add oatmeal to your diet, it is amazing!
