Hello, everyone! My name is Mary McMullen and I'm a new subscriber to LACTNET. I currently work with the W.I.C. population in Arizona and have heard many anecdotal reports from mothers regarding the powers of oatmeal (eaten as a hot cereal) in increasing breastmilk supply. A recent letter from another LACTNET subscriber described her successful experience using oatmeal (among other holistic and relaxation techniques) to restore a good breastmilk supply to a mom newly on Depo-Provera. Can anyone tell me the mechanism, if any, by which this may be true? Thank you, and I'm very glad to be a part of these sharing sessions! Mary P. McMullen, M.S., R.D., C.L.C.
