Due to many requests I'm going to give my story around milk supply. My little girl was not handling foods that I was trying to introduce well so I felt I would have to nurse much longer than I might have needed to with the older two. Simply for nutritional reasons. One day around a year my milk supply plummeted. I was terrified cause there were maybe 3 foods she was tolerating outside my milk. I did a little digging. By far the best thing that helped the most was rubbing therapeutic grade Fennel essential oil on my chest night and morning. This doubled my milk in less than 2 days. As I searched I also found "lactation cookies".... these are the coolest cookies ever! They are paleo, gluten free, sugar free, but they taste amazing and give super food nutrients. This boost of specific nutrients helps many women with milk supply, no matter the age of the baby. This was also the first cookie my sweet little girl could handle without an allergic reaction.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
3/4 cup maple syrup
4 Tablespoons water
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups ground flaxseed
2 cups coconut flakes
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup raisins
2 Tablespoons brewer's nutritional yeast
Directions:
Mix all wet ingredients with all dry ingredients. After batter thoroughly mixed spoon cookies onto greased cookie sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This recipe can make up to 12 dozen depending on cookie size.
