^ I had the same problem with DD1, I struggled to express for 6 weeks and then it just dried up on its own Wish I'd known about these cookies back then!! I'm going to gather ingredients this afternoon so I can bake some tonight and give them a go

Oh, and dont forget that flaxseed meal is also know as linseed meal... And you can usually find it in the fridge section of the local health food shop.

Now, by 'thick cut' oats, what does that mean? Can I just use 'traditional' rolled oats (ie not 'quick' oats?? Or are they some special kind of oats that I'd need to track down?

I could only find rolled oats and they did the job for me

Just made some using regular rolled oats - YUM!!
How long do they take to work, do you reckon? And how many do I need to eat?

There are so many here... I just want to nom nom nom

I dont know if it was coincidence or not, but I found within hours of eating some (about 6 ) I was so full!

Yup, agreed. 3 cookies and a couple of hours later, I've managed to completely saturate one breast pad (on my right side, it always makes sooo much milk, not sure why?!) and DD2 is sleeping soundly again after stuffing her face hahaha
These are a treat! I'm going to whip up another batch and give them to DH's friend's missus, she's 2 days overdue now and even if she doesn't intend on BFing, they're pretty tasty... and if she is going to BF, she won't have any issues for those tricky first few days!!!
