Don’t cry over spilled milk!

For a wide variety or reasons, new mothers often have difficulty producing milk for their newborns. Though it is common, it can still be terribly stressful. Luckily, there is an easy and delicious way to naturally help boost milk production. Lactation cookies are a combination of several wholesome ingredients understood to have helped new mothers for generations, all conveniently baked together in a delightfully sweet treat.

The key ingredients not only contain significant nutritional benefits, but are also well reputed galactagogues, or foods and herbs that naturally promote the flow of a mother’s milk. 

Brewer’s yeast is a nutritional supplement and probiotic used in bread and beer production. It is a good source of iron, protein, and B vitamins, which can help with mood and fatigue; as well as chromium, which can help regulate blood sugar; and selenium, a powerful antioxidant linked to heart, brain, thyroid, and immune system health, as well as reducing inflammation.

Oats are high in fiber, iron, protein, and complex carbohydrates. Iron is particularly important to a nursing mother, as low levels can cut milk production. 

Flaxseed is loaded with protein, good fats, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and enzymes, which bulk up milk supply, adding extra nutritional substance needed for a growing newborn.

Wheat germ is rich in folic acid and vitamin C, which can help boost mood; and zinc, which aids the immune system and can even help to protect against painful cracked nipples.

Chocolate, though unfortunately not a galactagogue, contains flavanols – a type of flavonoid – that have been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular problems and lower cholesterol. It is also delicious, and is the best part of any cookie. 

Lactation cookies obviously have many benefits for women looking to boost their breast milk supply, but because these ingredients also support healthy digestion, ease muscle fatigue, and promote shiny hair and nails, the whole family can benefit from eating these delicious cookies—if Mom is willing to share! These fresh baked cookies also make great gifts for any new mother, and a perfect addition to care packages.
