Cold mornings call for warm breakfasts. And when there's snow on the ground, the wind is blowing and you've got 22 animals needing breakfast you better buck up buttercup. 😜
Honestly, I never was a huge oatmeal fan. But, I found out it was a lactation superfood! My milk starting going away at about 4 months after having Evie. I was so disappointed. I only made it three months with my other two girls and I was determined I was going to nurse Evie an entire year. So, I tried the oatmeal. And do you know what happened? My milk went NUTS. For those of you wanting to do the same, I also increased my water supply and for about 2-3 days I took the advice of my doctor and nursed every hour on the hour during the day. But, I will say I didn't do those things until I realized what the oatmeal did. Evie is 8 months and we're still going strong!
So, how did I go from hating oatmeal, to actually loving it? Well, for one....consistency. I cannot have some watered down oatmeal. Here's how I make it.
1/4 cup quick oats
1/4 cup milk
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 1/2 tsp honey
Heat on stovetop until cooked to desired consistency about two minutes for me. Then I too it with chocolate chips. It's delicious. It's like a cookie. In fact, I need to go make a bowl right now just thinking about it! Enjoy!
Have you been struggling with your milk supply? Have you given this a try? Let me know!
