I made the lactation cookies!

I have eaten 3 and can't wait to see if they work!  I've seen one success story on here with them.  Anyone else have success? 

I'm crossing my fingers I'll see a difference in my supply.  One boob is almost completely dry. :(   I found the brewers yeast and the flax meal at Whole Foods market.  I couldn't find thick cut oats, but just got regular oatmeal and hope that works!  I'll keep you posted!

    I just got ahold of the yeast today!  Gonna make it tomorrow.  I can't believe I'm this excited about making cookies!  What a minute, they're cookies.  Of course I'm excited!

    I got a bag mix that a friend bought for me as a gift from etsy and I used it and I swear, it was the only thing that really worked for me.  And so yummy...and fattening!

    I noticed a difference the very next day after making and eating them.  I ate four the first evening.  Woke up for the usual night time feeding (4am) and had to pump after - I've never felt that full before - even during the first few days after LO's birth.  Got almost 3oz after feeding and that is huuuge for me.  I had to pump again later that morning (8am) and got another two oz.  In the past couple weeks it has been taking me two - three days to get 4-5oz so this was quite and improvement.
     
    FWIW, I EBF and only pump to help build a stash for when I return to work in three weeks or because I miss a feeding if I am away from LO.
     
    I also used regular oatmeal - we have a ton of it and I wasn't going to buy more of it when I was already buying the yeast and flax.

    I made them a few nightd ago and have been eating about 4-5 a day. I really haven't noticed a difference- I am wondering if I made them wrong. I couldnt find flaxseed meal so I bought finely ground flaxseed- do you think that would make a difference? I kinda thought flaxseed is flaxseed, regardless of how it is ground, but maybe I was wrong...

    I made them last night and ate like 3-4 cookies.  Last night I had to pump after each feeding bc I felt engorged!  This morning in the shower, I was leaking too.  I don't know if it's the cookies or coincidence.
