    Lactation Cookies Recipe - Increase Breastmilk Supply

    I tried lactation cookies and I thought id share MY experience - keep in mind its my experience and won't be everyone's.

    I read you could add fenugreek - personally it tastes foul and makes the cookies dry.

    It worked for me, yes, great things I thought till......

    I had a baby that was colicky.

    It took a lot of research into what COULD be causing all ds wind and unsettledness. Brewers yeast was a food recommended to avoid. I did for a month, gorgeous settled bub, then tried again and again he was windy and unsettled.

    I highly recommend trying the cookies but just be aware of things that might be interacting with bubs - I would never have put it down to the cookies if I hadn't read about it.

    Can bakers yeast be just as effective? im about to make a batch as my supply is low from breast refusal but she's taken me back, so im desperate to get my supply up super quick and ban the bottle. Im somewhat house bound by frequent and long feeds and hubby is at work. hence the only yeast we could find was bakers.
