As a new mother, ensuring a steady and healthy milk supply is a top priority. While breastfeeding is a natural process, some mothers may experience challenges in producing enough breast milk. Thankfully, there are various strategies and solutions available, one of which comes in the form of a lactation cookie..

Let’s delve into the benefits of lactation cookies, how they work, and why they have gained popularity among nursing mothers. Let's explore how these delicious treats can assist in boosting breast milk supply naturally.

The best way to understand the lactation cookie is to identify the role of each specific ingredient. These delicious treats are made of a combination of  galactagogues, including oats, brewer’s yeast, flaxseed, and occasionally fenugreek. 

Oats is a rich source of iron and fiber, which provides energy and supports digestive health. It is also believed to stimulate the production of oxytocin, the hormone responsible for milk letdown.  Additionally, they contain saponins, compounds that may stimulate milk production.

Brewer’s Yeast is packed with essential vitamin B vitamins and minerals like chromium. It's known for its potential to increase breast milk production and combat fatigue. 

Flaxseed is an excellent source of Omega 3 Fatty acids, fiber, and lignans. It can  help  balance hormones and promote overall lactation health.  

The inclusion of this combination of galactagogues  coupled with a balanced diet & lots of fluids may be the answer to helping boost your milk supply. 

By incorporating all these ‘super ingredients’ into our lactation cookies, breastfeeding moms now have an all round solution to combating a busy lifestyle and keeping their supply levels high. 

It's important to note that lactation can be influenced by various factors, including a mother's overall health, stress levels, and proper breastfeeding techniques. Lactation cookies should not replace professional lactation support but can be a complementary addition to a well-balanced breastfeeding routine.
