Breastfeeding has come fairly easily to me, but milk has not flowed in abundance, unfortunately. One of the things I have found to work are these lactation cookies, so I decided I would share the recipe. You can tweak them in any number of ways to your liking. The important ingredients are the oatmeal, flaxseed meal, and brewer's yeast (I ordered mine from Amazon but I'm pretty sure Whole Foods has this). I personally like them loaded with chocolate chips, so that's what I usually add, but you could add raisins, almonds, peanut butter, etc. They are actually much tastier than I thought they would be, and my husband has even enjoyed these as well. Hope you enjoy as much as I have! Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies
Ingredients: 2 tbsp Flaxseed meal (no substitutions) 4 tbsp water 1 cup sugar 1 stick butter 2 large eggs 1 tsp vanilla 2 cups flour (I used whole wheat) 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 3 cups thick cut oats 1 cup chocolate chips 2 tbsp Brewer's Yeast Directions:

I'm sure you will be fine! I think as first time moms we stress ourselves out so much! I know so much more now than I did then. That's also one of my upcoming posts... how I increased my supply. ;) Comments are closed.
