Increasing milk supply

[plum1000]

@chelseyylynn44 Oatmeal really works! I have oatmeal in oat milk for breakfast and oatmeal milk and a snack at night. The oatly oat milk is a bit overly hyped but tastes really good. The Costco oat milk is not bad either.

Enough sleep, less stress and more fluids are also important but hard to achieve sometimes. Just do your best and there’s no shame in supplementing with formula.

@plum1000 I also usually use oat milk in my oat meal. Allll the oats lol

@chelseyylynn44 Oatmeal, flax seed, fennel, bulgur, and coconut milk has helped a lot

@chelseyylynn44 I wanna love oatmeal but I hate it I’ve been drinking oat milk and lactation cookies which I find help, but they are so expensive!

 

[dwhite081705]

@jaj What about no bake cookies?

 

[jaj]

@dwhite081705 Never heard of these. I’ll have to do some googling. Thanks!

@jaj You have probably already tried different types but in case you havent, I only like quacker brand quick oats. The texture if the rest are terrible

@adebayo4545 No, I don’t think I’ve had different kinds tbh. I kind of just assumed they were all the same. I tried making overnight oats and was sooo disappointed that I didn’t like them lol. But I think it said to only use rolled oats. So maybe I’ll try quick oats to see if i like them thanks!

@chelseyylynn44 If you don't like hot breakfast then soaked oats work too. I just put some oats with some oat milk (baby has cows milk allergy) and berries in a container overnight then eat in the morning

@chelseyylynn44 Oatmeal and zero alcohol beer

@chelseyylynn44 It's worked for me as well!

@chelseyylynn44 Highly reccomend jam for your oatmeal if your looking for different flavors. I have about 3 jams I cycle through with different berries and occasionally chocolate chips that I mix in after cooking

@chelseyylynn44 I worried about supply a lot with my first born. I ate oatmeal when I remembered, drank teas and bought expensive supplements. My supply was decent.

With my second born, I eat steel cut oats every morning with a spoonful of peanut butter and I add chia seed and ground flax seeds. My milk supply is STRONG. I also noticed that the fat content is much, much higher the second time around. My baby is 10 months old and absolutely enormous. Her pediatrician says I must produce whipping cream instead of breast milk.

Also, just so you know, the more you drain the boob, the more milk you make.

@luxangels Also yes I’ve been working more on just pumping longer too and I think that’s been helping

 

[luxangels]

@chelseyylynn44 Have you tried Power Pumping?

 

[chelseyylynn44]

@luxangels That’s amazing I love that haha

@chelseyylynn44 I just wanted to add that for me it was how much water I drank. I started guzzling water and my supply went right up.
