Lactation Cookies Recipe - Increase Breastmilk Supply

[FabFiona]

I'll be making some tonight. Interested to see how they work. The hardest thing will be making sure I don't eat the whole lot at once.

[peanutter]

try them with cranberries and white chocolate

and apparently they work harder if you eat the dough raw ... I found it pretty gross raw, but it did seem to help.

and fenugreek pills or tea, and fennel tea too - fennel tea is delish!

Subbing for the receipe

Tori-Ella, have you noticed a difference yet? It took 24 hours for me to notice. I am not a huge milk producer myself, but I do notice a slight increase after eating these cookies.

These cookies are SO yum! I cant stop eating them. Its such a bad thing as they are definately very fattening!

Also I have heard that porridge (made out of rolled oats not quick oats) sprinkled with flaxseed and brewers yeast for brekky also does the job. I will be trying this from tomorrow and will let you all know.

Are these ok to eat while pregnant (and breastfeeding)?

Do they store well? I would like to make some and send them to a friend interstate, do you reckon they would be ok in an air tight container?

Yep and yep.

In other news, I ate too many, it would seem, and got a blocked duct. Whoops.

And, Isadora, the porridge definitely works. I used to do that and one small unfiltered beer a day, and the supply boost was huge.

just bear in mind that the raw dough has raw eggs, for the preggers ladies. That's a small risk of bacterial nasties (salmonella, etc). But eating the cookies is fine.

Ahh, good one Jenn. I use egg replacer, so didn't think of that.

[TeniBear]

I think I'm addicted to these cookies.

Oh, also, don't drop your phone in the mixture The speaker's stuffed

oh! so that's what I've been doing wrong!!

thanks, babe

[TeniBear]

Glad to have been of service

Those who aren't noticing a big difference, increase the brewers yeast and see if that helps.

Subbing for the recipe! Preggers and breastfeeding right now, I feel like I could use see purely for the caloric boost! But I will save them for after bubba is born, when i know I'll be genuinely ravenous.

I swear by these cookies, but as hubby and I have just started a low carb diet (trying to control sugars Augh!!) am working on a "low carb" variation - it's this weeks project If anyone's interested I'm happy to share the recipe

[alish]

this may sound dumb buttttttt - when would you start eating these? like just before the baby is due or after bubs is born?
they sound delicious i want to make some now

[TeniBear]

You can make them anytime - they're good for healthy digestion as well as milk making

Yes please!

Thankfully I haven't had any supply issues this time around - fingers crossed it stays this way!
Anyway, I made them with DD2 and they were brilliant. I also heard that Activite is good for your supply too so I ate my cookies and drank activite and my boobs would feel like they were going to explode! I recommended the activite to my sister and it worked for her too. It is so good to drink whilst eating the cookies.
