The Real Issue: Oat Milk While Breastfeeding: Benefits to Milk Supply

As soon as Linh gave birth to Lilah we started looking at ways to increase milk supply. I had heard about Oatmeal as a way of increasing milk supply but owning a coffee shop it dawned on me that it might be worth looking into the benefits of Oat Milk. 

So after some research I did a small podcast on it. 

Ps. if you want to make oat milk here is the recipe otherwise jump onto Prasads Home and Garden and purchase some, it's a lot easier. 

How Do You Make Oat Milk?

To start making oat milk, you will need two ingredients: oats and water. You will also need a blender, a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, and a jar to store the oat milk.

1. First, measure out 2 cups of oats and 4 cups of water. Steel cut oats, rolled oats, or instant oats may be used.
2. Then, soak the oats in the water in the refrigerator overnight.
3. After soaking, blend the oats and water mixture in a blender.
4. Then, strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to separate the pulp from the liquid. The liquid is the “oat milk” and the pulp may be either eaten or baked.
5. Store the oat milk in the refrigerator for up to two days. Store-bought oat milk may last longer than the homemade version. Be sure to read the instructions on the package.
