LACTATION COOKIES
Based on a generations-old Austrailan recipe, our Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies boast three main ingredients commonly believed to impact milk supply: oats, brewer's yeast, and flax.
-
Oats (or oatmeal) are key in boosting milk supply because of the iron they contain that nursing moms are frequently needing. Oats are also filling and dense with healthy calories - and nursing moms need calories.
-
Brewer's yeast is an ingredient that has also long been touted to increase milk supply. Brewer's yeast is one of the best natural sources of B vitamins, which are essential to overall health of a nursing mom (and any woman).
-
The oil from flax seed in considered by many to be a galactagogue (substance that improves lactation). It is also a great form of fiber. And flax is power-packed with omega-3s (essential fatty acids) that are absolutely crucial to a nursing mom's diet (as well as baby's diet, and all human health in general)
