It's one that was given to me on here...

Housepoet's Famous Lactation Boosting Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip & Flaxseed cookies
Serves: 6 dozen cookies
Preparation time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
* 1 cup butter or marg
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 4 tablespoons water
* 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal (can be found at any local health food store)
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 cups flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 3 cups oats, thick cut if you can get them
* 1 cup or more chocolate chips
* 2 tablespoons of brewers yeast* (be generous) (IT MUST BE BREWERS YEAST, NO SUBSTITUTIONS)

Directions:
* Preheat oven at 375 degrees F.
* Mix together 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal and water, set aside for 3-5 minutes.
* Cream (beat well) margarine and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mix well. Stir flaxseed mixture and add with vanilla to the margarine mix. Beat until blended.
* Sift together dry ingredients, except oats and chips. Add to margarine mixture. Stir in oats then chips.
* Scoop or drop onto baking sheet, preferably lined with parchment or silpat. The dough is a little crumbly, so it helps to use a scoop.
* Bake 8-12 minutes, depending on size of cookies.

Anyone can eat them They're yummy huh?
I wouldn't think you can overdose... its all natural.. I'm sure I ate a whole batch in a few days too. I think DH had a few, but I probably didn't tell him too much about it

Way too yummy! I just realised my first batch didn't even make 3 days... I made them while doing dinner on the 14th

This works so well!! I was able to relactate using this. The secret ingredient to these is really the brewers yeast and the flaxseed (linseed) meal (as well as the extra calories)... so you can really turn anything into milk-producing foods. I made a choccy cake but hubby and I ate it all in one and a half days!! So I had to make something a little more healthy like low fat yoghurt muffins. Seriously though if you end up making more milk and you're able to feed your baby more as long as you don't go overboard like I did with the cake you'll probably burn it off anyway through breastfeeding. The midwife at hospital told me lots of protein will help your milk supply so if ever it's a bit low I have bacon and eggs - always picks it up for me. I do find my milk is affected if I don't eat enough or I have too much sugary foods and not enough fattening/proteiny foods.

Oh and I got sick of hubby eating all my milk-making foods so I told him it'd make him make milk if he ate it. I knew it wouldn't but at least whatever I cooked would last a little bit longer!!

Hi ladies,

so glad i found this thread, however, i was just wondering, where you buy "actual" brewers yeast from? - thanks

[Early Kids]

From the home brew(as in beer) section in Woolworths/safeway Coles ect.

Lauren, too funny!
