Lactation Cookies Recipe - Increase Breastmilk Supply

**luna moth** · July 22nd, 2011, 03:05 PM

I made a particularly potent batch this week. I haven't needed to use breast pads for a couple of months, but after this batch, my friends call me "Wet Patches" I doubled the flaxseed meal, added cocoa and hazelnut meal, and they taste like Nutella

You could use a food processor up until the flour part. If you put flour in with your mixer, you risk overdeveloping the gluten, which will make your bickies very crumbly.

I've gone and got all the ingredients for these today, and will have a go at making them if DD ever gives me some time! Interested to see how well they work.

Oh dear. I made up the dough yesterday, but didn't get around to baking it. So I picked at it all arvo, I ate sooo much

I thought I felt it working, so was happy DD fed for a long time last night.

Then she decided to sleep for 10 1/2 hours! Ouch!!! I was so full and had leaked out of the breast pads onto the bed lol. Poor DD couldn't keep up with the flow from it!

Kelly, my hubby would like to thank you for my new even bigger boobs

should i be giving them a miss because of thrush u know with all the sugar and yeast thats in them? i am just wondering coz i bought all the stuff to make them and dont know whether i should make any

A friend of mine mentioned the other day that she ate them and had a recurrence of the thrush she had just managed to get rid of. Make them, just leave out the brewers yeast.

**BellyBelly** · August 30th, 2011, 07:15 PM

Brewers yeast is what makes them work! But up your intake of probiotics too if thats a problem. You can use a liquid probiotic if you're making the uncooked dough.

The BB article on thrush is great and the presentation down the bottom is awesome. There are several parts to it but well worth the watch.

As for the preggy ladys- not sure you should be eating flaxseed- check that out

If anyone buys the ingredients online what site do you use, I live very regional the closest health food shop is 250kms away.

In that quantity, it's really not an issue. I consumed about four times as much as one cookie, daily, while pregnant, with the approval of my midwife. Definitely no preterm labour here. I'd have eaten more if I thought that was a possibility.
