Lactation cookies are a great way to help increase your milk supply! The key ingredient is the brewer’s yeast. It’s not recommended to substitute this for any other kind of yeast. This can be generally found in natural sections of supermarkets. Make sure the label says Brewer’s Yeast. When we asked a few store clerks they pointed me to other yeast which is not the same. The flax and oats are also great supply boosters too which is why they are included in the recipe.
You might also be wondering, can anyone eat lactation cookies? Yes! All of these ingredients are safe for anyone to eat. Be mindful that consuming lactation cookies before birth may not be helpful in boosting your milk supply.
These oatmeal raisin lactation cookies recipe are loaded with healthy ingredients. We added whole flaxseed for additional health and milk-producing benefits. We have coconut oil in place of butter to get the benefits of coconut oil. If you don’t have coconut oil, you can still make them with butter.
This is really going to depend on your body and your own personal milk supply. Typically eating 2-3 a day should be enough to notice a boost in your milk supply.
It can depend on the individual, but typically you should see results within 1-2 days. Moms will typically notice an immediate boost in my supply. So hang in there, you should be producing more in no time!
You might be wondering also if you can make this lactation cookies recipe without brewers yeast. You can, but you won’t see the same effects in your milk supply boost as you would if you included the brewer’s yeast. If you’re looking for a brewers yeast substitute for baking these cookies, it’s important you do not substitute the brewers yeast for other yeast as you will not see the same results (and they may not taste good).
