You may be wondering why, or how, a cookie can help with lactation. The ingredients in these cookies provide “good” calories, and ingredients like flax, oatmeal and nutritional yeast (or brewers yeast) provide valuable nutrients that help boost milk production. Additionally, whipping up a batch of these cookie bars is quick and easy and will provide mom with a nutritious snack that she can eat one-handed while taking care of baby. As a mom, I can attest to the fact that eating healthy can be hard to do with the constant business that comes with taking care of little ones.
This recipe is a tried, true and yummy concoction mixed up by a friend of mine from Rumble in The Kitchen. Many thanks to her for sharing her recipe with us!

I have another recipe I’ve used before but look forward to trying this one too! I have enough milk for my son but also pump and donate to a milk bank and I’d love to have more to share!
This will be awesome to keep in mind for future #2! : ) Especially since I love sweets lol.
Thanks for the recipe! My sister is struggling with her milk supply, so I will send this to her.
i wonder if these lactation cookie bars would freeze well. like could i make them ahead of time and have them ready for when we come home from the hospital? i had ok milk with number 1 but my goal this time is to beat the length of time i breastfed with my daughter, with number 2. i know these are not magical cookie bars but i hope they help me keep up with the demand.
Throughout that movie, they’re traveling from place to place, but is that really safe. It will then create zombie characters in your surrounding neighborhood which will come towards your marker on the map. The troops are torn apart by the same enemy soldiers they had killed a few minutes earlier in an ambush.
