It contains a special ingredient believed to enhance milk production.

Breastfeeding can be quite the challenge for many moms. One of the biggest hurdles is often a low milk supply, which can be frustrating. Fortunately, there are solutions, and one of them is downright delicious!

According to Romper, there’s a new flavor from Ben & Jerry’s that could lend a hand in boosting breast milk supply. Yes, please! Oat of this Swirled is packed with a galactagogue—yes, that’s a real term for foods known to help increase milk production.

Now, take a look at this delightful treat.

As described on the Ben & Jerry’s website, Oat of this Swirled combines a “blissful mix of brown sugar ice cream with heavenly swirls of cinnamon oatmeal cookies.” Hold on, I need to wipe the drool off my chin.

The secret lactation ingredient in this flavor? Oats! They’re one of the most powerful foods for enhancing milk supply, as noted by Kelly Mom. Oats contain saponins that may boost the hormones necessary for milk production.

I’ve personally experienced the power of oats while nursing my daughter. I found myself chowing down on bowls of bland oatmeal multiple times a day just to keep up with her insatiable appetite. I even tried fenugreek, which made me smell like a walking pancake—charming, right? If this ice cream had been around back in 2009, I would have stocked up like it was the last pint on earth! Because, let’s be real, oatmeal? Yuck. Smelling like syrup? Double yuck.

However, it’s important to note that not every woman will find that galactagogues work magic on their milk supply, and there’s no shame in switching to formula if needed. But for those moms looking for a tasty boost, why not indulge in some ice cream? Honestly, I’m five years post-nursing and I’m ready to grab a pint for myself—it looks that good!

Here’s hoping this little miracle brings some joy to nursing moms who would rather savor dessert than choke down breakfast.

Summary:

Ben & Jerry’s new flavor, Oat of this Swirled, features oats, a galactagogue believed to help increase breast milk supply. While not a solution for every mom, it offers a delicious option for those seeking a tasty boost while nursing.
