Lactation cookies

Oh my goodness. I had no idea a few cookies would make my supply go up so much! My boobs haven't felt this full this often in a long time. Those cookies really helped. At least now I know this for the future.

Has anyone made lactation cookies? Did they work for you, or not?

Re: Lactation cookies

  • I haven't but I've been drinking Mothers Milk tea to boost my supply. I haven't noticed a difference as noticeable as what you describe so now I think I need to make some of these cookies...

    Question for you.... Let's say before the cookies - your body produced 4oz pumped BM, and with the cookies you can pump 6 oz... What happens after the fact? Do you need to continue eating them or your supply will tank? Are they just a temporary boost type thing?

  • It seems to be temp. When I stop eating them, my supply goes back to normal.

  • Have you noticed a big difference? I tried Mothers Milk and I didn't think I noticed any change when I pump at night. Hope the cookies help! That's the same recipe I found. :-)
