So, I have always heard to eat oatmeal to help boost and maintain a good milk supply, but I have also heard to eat certain kinds of oats... like steel cut instead of quick oats.
Why is a certain kind of oats better than others at boosting or maintaining your milk supply?

I just used the regular Quaker oats but not the instant ones. I think eating oatmeal and drinking water helped my supply more thank fenugreek

My understanding is that the steel cut or old fashioned are best instead of instant. If you like oatmeal cookies, look online for a lactation cookie recipe. I just made a batch that are oatmeal-chocolate chip and include flax meal and brewer's yeast; very tasty and helped me tremendously with my supply.
