oatmeal, growth spurt, or both?

[LarsMal]

I've heard that oatmeal can increase your supply, but how much (or little) does it take to do so? I made a batch of oatmeal cookies the other day. I've probably been eating three a day (yes, I'm a sugar addict) for the past four days. For the past couple days I've been getting completely engorged again, to the point of pain, with some leaking as well. Could it be the oatmeal causing the increase? DD also turned 6 months last week, so I guess it could be related to a growth spurt, but she hasn't increased her number of feedings.

Any thoughts?

I have really found that oatmeal, in any form, helps increase my supply. for a while I was eating instant oatmeal for breakfast every day, and when I stopped, I noticed a drop in pumping volume.
