I should start by saying I don't like oatmeal. I don't hate it, either. I loathe it. The texture. The taste. The temperature. I. Hate. Oatmeal.However, I recently had a baby and was struggling with milk production. After doing a lot of research into increasing milk production. I found a lot of products and recipes which were all very expensive or unrealistically time consuming, since I wanted a regimen which would be easy when I return to work. Oatmeal, however, was frequently listed for it's milk increasing qualities, and I've always known if was a good thing for you regardless of milk needs. It seemed, sadly, like the best, most realistic option for me (since I still want to eat like a "normal" person and not have to go crazy with specialty things. I think health comes from eating regular foods, not following trendy diets). After looking at the nutrition facts for many oat meals, I thought this would provide the milk boosting things I wanted for my baby and the added bonus of fiber and other nutrient to help me shed the baby weight while nursing. I reluctantly gave it a shot.I am glad that I did. My milk production has been helped, and I don't completely hate eating it. My mom and husband,who love oatmeal, enjoyed trying it. I find myself adding some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to it to make it more edible for ME, but if you actually enjoy oatmeal, you won't need that. The nutritional facts were very helpful at selling me the product and motivating me to stomach it for the baby.So, if A person who hates oatmeal can eat and somewhat enjoy this, I think it's worth a try for anyone!!
