"This recipe is great for mothers who are breastfeeding. It helps to keep your milk supply up or increase your milk supply. Use more brewers yeast and oatmeal if you are wanting to increase your milk supply. You can use more chocolate chips if you like or any kind of chips," says Noel Trujillo. You can also safely eat these cookies during pregnancy in preparation for breastfeeding.

My daughter, Holly, has just given birth to our Grand baby, she is having wonderful and rewarding success with nursing. Madi is a very happy baby, hense, Mommy and Daddy are happy too! Holly and I get together almost every other day, since Madi's birth, she is an angel, truly a living doll! Holly called the other day and asked if we could make "Lactation Cookies" together, that maybe I'd like to write about them on the blog? I said, "Of course! What is a lactation cookie?" She told me all about them, sent a recipe to me that she had researched, read all the reviews and thought was a good basic recipe. She changed a few things that reviewers thought made the cookies a bit better and we spent the day together with Madi, making these delicious cookies. I am over the Moon with this little peanut, as I'm sure most Grandma's are with their Grand children!

*If you are pregnant, be sure to bake them! Do not eat the dough due to the raw egg.

*If you are breastfeeding, try eating the dough as well as the cookies, as it seems to be even more effective at increasing supply, possibly 10 fold more than the cookies – and it’s delicious!

A review- 

“YES, they DO WORK! I’ve found them especially helpful for afternoons and evenings when baby is cluster feeding and I seem to be all out of liquid gold – munch a couple of bikkies, have a big drink of water or milk (yum!) and you can feel your boobies expanding with fresh milk” — Glamourcide

This recipe will make a huge batch! You can bake enough for a few days and refrigerate or freeze the rest of the dough to bake at a later date. Or, make them all and freeze them, saving you having to make more later.  Another option is to bake half and eat the second half in batter form which is more effective if you want a quick hit!

These cookies taste really good! They are very healthy and can be eaten by anyone! Just look at this happy little teapot princess with her Mommy.

Everyone is happy!

Little Madi Lee likes Grandma Teapot to sing the "I'm a little teapot" song to her. We have a little dance we do together, that Holly calls, "The teapot Stomp"! Holly now calls me, "Grandma Teapot"! So, I wonder, is that my new name?? Hahaha! What ever Madi want's to call me is fine, I am smitten with this little teapot, she has captured my heart.

Cheers!
