Lactation cookies? Yes, they are a real thing. Do they really work? I honestly could not tell you, however, I do believe that some of the main ingredients (oats, brewers yeast & flax seed) truly help boost your milk production.
These are the perfect grab and go breakfast or snack. Us mamas are very busy as we all know, so when those hangry pains arrive these cookies will be there to satisfy those hangry cravings..Its an excuse to eat cookies right?
Everyone loves cookies! You do not have to be a breastfeeding mama to enjoy these cookies, these are kid and dad friendly too!
