Ever been told to eat a bowl of oatmeal or get on the oatmeal cookie train while you were breastfeeding? It’s not a bad idea. At the very least, it’s a great source of iron – which most moms could use. Though there isn’t scientific backing of oatmeal increasing milk supply, it seems to work for many moms. So if you are looking for a little extra boost in your supply, it’s worth a shot! I’d recommend trying to add it in daily for the best results.

Now, I can hear some of your groaning, “Oatmeal? EVERYDAY?! Blech! Like the kind grandma made all the time??” Yup…

 But good news!

The oats are the important part. So I’ve put together a SIMPLE granola recipe for you to whip up — or better yet, make as a new mom gift for that friend of yours! Let’s keep those mamas fed! Stay tuned for an oatmeal cookie recipe coming soon. Those freezable, one-handed snacks are KEY to survival.

Until next time,

Snuggle those babies! <3
