I couldn't stand the steel cut so I eat The old fashioned Quaker oats in the red container. I can't post a pic on my ipad but maybe this link will work: <a href="http://bit.ly/T84Jjc" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/T84Jjc</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-516863 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 00:04:06 +0000 Andrea 516863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: I was wondering the same thing. @oahujeni: I bought steel cut oatmeal but it still says that you can microwave it. Do you know if that counts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-516805 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:56:37 +0000 Beehive 516805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oahujeni: Thanks! I have the quick-cooking version of steel cut oatmeal, I wonder if that counts as instant? In any case, I'll try to get the real stuff tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-516791 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:41:06 +0000 wheres_c 516791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought oatmeal but have been too busy with LO to eat breakfast. I will make it a priority. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-516733 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 21:41:20 +0000 oahujeni 516733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: make sure you get the real oatmeal, not instant. At least that's what the LC at my BF group told me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-516717 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 21:32:04 +0000 Beehive 516717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never get enough to overflow the bottles, that would be so great! I just got some oatmeal and plan to eat it for breakfast starting tomorrow, maybe it will increase my supply a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-516696 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 21:11:01 +0000 mamabolt 516696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do this sometimes at work during my first pumping session, getting distracted by the computer is a dangerous thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-516679 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 21:01:55 +0000 oahujeni 516679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: I pump once in the morning and once at night after I bf him. He eats about 8-9 times a day. I have oversupply in my left breast... It's always full! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-516530 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:15:08 +0000 Bao 516530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I wish I could pump that much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-516527 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:13:24 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 516527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is a lot! How many times a day are you pumping/BFing?</p> <p>I have only overflowed the 2 1/2 ounce bottles, but it drives me nuts! (It happens all the time, but I have so many of those type that they are the ones that are clean.) Oh well...I've got breastmilk spots on all of my pants... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-516105 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 13:42:15 +0000 oahujeni 516105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: I was only getting 3oz last week but then I started eating oatmeal every morning. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but I'm definitely producing more. Oh, and I made 3 dozen oatmeal cookies and DH and I devoured them in 5 days. That's probably just going to contribute me gaining more weight though ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-516048 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 12:36:53 +0000 wheres_c 516048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! I wish i could get that much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-515869 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 10:04:13 +0000 oahujeni 515869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amelieisme: lol, I must have missed that! I love that HB makes the time fly by because I hate pumping... It's so boring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-515868 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 10:04:01 +0000 autumnlove 515868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, boobs are amazing! I pumped into those 9 ounce Evenflo bottles to avoid overflow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-515864 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 10:02:36 +0000 Amelieisme 515864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! I posted a very similar post the other day about overflowing while distracted by HB. It's hypnotizing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-overflowed-bottle#post-515857 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 10:00:05 +0000 oahujeni 515857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I wasn't paying attention (thank you hands free pumping bra and mindlessly clicking through the HB boards) and I seriously overfilled the Medela bottle I'm pumping into,which has to be a little over 6oz plus whatever overflowed out of it. It's amazing to lift up that bottle and feel how heavy it is and realize how much milk one breast can hold. I just started pumping so this totally amazes me still! </p>
