I'm 20 weeks pregnant & my co-worker brought me some lactation cookies. I wanted to know if they're ok to eat now or if I should wait? What do U all think?
I can't see why they wouldn't be ok to eat (the galactagogue ingredients are usually brewers yeast, oatmeal, and sometimes flax.. So nothing harmful in the least).
Kind of an odd thing to make for a pregnant friend, though, since they're not going to help you out at all right now. But they should be tasty, so go for it!

All of this.
I was hoping this would be a "share your favorite lactation cookie recipe" thread!

Ditto! A friend of mine said she had a recipe that was super helpful for her but she hasn't given it to me yet.

I got mine off a thread in the "Sept 12" BMB way back when, and I can't find it! I'm not a tech saavy person, so I haven't mastered the bump searching. All I remember is oatmeal and butterscotch chips...how could you go wrong?
I would love a post about favorite lactation cookie recipes! I haven't made them yet and I'm overwhelmed by the choices. Maybe I should just start trying recipes now and find the tastiest ones.
Someone have a good recipe? I want to bake some to take with me to the hospital. I'm having a repeat c section and want my bf experience to be a little more successful this time
They taste like regular chocolate chip cookies (the ones I've made/had have all been just oatmeal chocolate chip).
In my experience, there is a fairly intense flavour from the brewers yeast. If you add a bunch of extras like chocolate or butterscotch chips, that definitely helps overcome the .... Um...earthiness.
I agree they are probably fine. All of the ingredients in the ones I make are regular things that can be found in other things, and they just happen to help with milk supply like oatmeal. It's perfectly fine to eat oatmeal now.
Funny story... I made a big batch once and my step dad and mom were over for dinner. My step dad helped himself to one and said, "these are really good!". My mom said, "those are her lactation cookies". I've never seen his mouth drop so fast. He thought she meant they were made with my breastmilk. He just about died while we all were laughing hysterically.

ETA: he (and my husband and mom) ate more after it was cleared up that I didn't put any mama milk in them They're tasty, and the galactagogue ingredients are good for anyone
I make a dry recipe that I give to new moms and then all have to do is add water and an egg. I plan on making a few mason jars of them for myself in January to have ready for when the baby is born.

I remember wanting so bad to do it in the beginning when I had my son, but I was too exhausted.
