How To Make Your Own Healthy Lactation Cookies To Support Breast Milk Supply

What are lactation cookies?

Basically cookies made with the below ingredients, to help mum recover post partum and to support good health and milk supply. Ingredients include:

• Flaxseed: flaxseeds contain phytoestrogens that can help boost breast milk production.
• Whole oats: oats contain iron which is known to have a positive effect on breast milk supply. This lactation cookie recipe uses both rolled oats and oat flour for double the oat love.
• Brewer’s yeast: this nutritional supplement is high in complex b vitamins, protein and selenium, which are all nutrients new moms need.
