Looking to boost your milk supply? These lactation cookies, brownies, bakes and drinks with lactation-promoting ingredients double as yummy treats!
It’s so important to nourish yourself properly when you’re breastfeeding, for your own health and so you can yield quality breastmilk for your bub. Lactation cookies, lactation brownies, lactation bakes and drinks such as nursing tea can help to increase or improve your milk supply.
So, do lactation cookies work? What is in lactation cookies? These baked goods and drinks contain lactation-promoting ingredients (aka galactagogues) like brewer’s yeast, fenugreek and oats. In our experience, lactation cookies and bakes work best if you’ve already got a milk supply going, as many mamas find an improvement in the quantity or quality of their breastmilk after consuming galactagogues. But if you’re already struggling and need more professional help with your breastfeeding worries, don’t hesitate to visit a lactation consultant.
Want to DIY your own lactation cookies or brownies? It’s easy enough to make on your own! Simply pick up fenugreek, flaxseed meal and brewer’s yeast then try this lactation cookie recipe which is our fave. But if you just don’t have the time to bake your own lactation cookies, why not get a dose of healthy lactation bakes and goodies from these businesses?
