I think I may try dropping it next week after I can plan alternative breakfast and see how it goes. I'll try to remember to circle back and let you know how my n=1 experiment goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-eating-oatmeal-really-impact-your-supply#post-1113650 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 12:48:20 +0000 JerricaBenton 1113650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any supply issues but when I eat oatmeal I have a very noticeable increase in milk that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-eating-oatmeal-really-impact-your-supply#post-1113224 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:26:54 +0000 4lulu4 1113224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With baby number 1, I ate oatmeal and took fenugreek pills because I made just enough breastmilk. But I wasn't too consistent with eating oatmeal after a while.. but I did continue taking the pills. And I didn't see a dip in production.</p> <p>With baby number 2, i'm not consistent with eating oatmeal. And I don't see a difference when I do and don't eat it.</p> <p>...yea.. i'll just have to be one of those trials to see if it has an effect on you. good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-eating-oatmeal-really-impact-your-supply#post-1112447 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 09:00:49 +0000 yin 1112447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't consistently eat oatmeal daily but didn't seem to notice any difference in supply when I did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-eating-oatmeal-really-impact-your-supply#post-1112308 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 08:40:01 +0000 autumnlove 1112308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply is pretty good and I don't see any difference when I eat oatmeal. I think it worked when I was pumping/nursing baby 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-eating-oatmeal-really-impact-your-supply#post-1112301 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 08:38:30 +0000 Revel 1112301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been eating oatmeal for breakfast almost every day since LO was born. She's now 4 months. I'm kind of sick of it and hoping to get back to paleo eating, but I'm concerned about a dip in supply if I stop eating it. I WOH full time and right now pump pretty much just exactly what LO needs.</p> <p>So, did anyone stop oatmeal and see a dip, or notice any marked impact with it? </p> <p>Because I've been eating it since the beginning I can't say what effect it's had. I know the answer is just to trial it but I was curious what others experience had been. </p>
