It’s reassuring when we’re sitting there breastfeeding our little one and we feel like we’re doing everything – like eating a cookie that can possibly help production! That’s a natural stress reliever because let’s be honest, this is NATURALLY a stressful time on the body. Some observational studies that were done said that some of these galactagogues could benefit in a psychological perspective. The other galactagogues I use in the recipe are sesame seeds + almonds + cinnamon! 😉 There are other known galactagogues, which are plants that increase the breast milk supply. You can sell me on it without the particular research.
While I couldn’t find any studies on oats + breastmilk, some moms swear by it and it’s been one of those tidbits that have been passed down for generations, BUT they are oats. Mamas! You know I have your back! I’m so excited to release our newest recipe – Nuvitru lactation cookies! These are perfect to have on your bedside while you are nursing your little one because let’s be honest – there is serious MUNCHIES while breastfeeding.
