And they taste pretty good! No word yet on if they work on upping supply but I'll let you know.
Did you ever make/eat lactation cookies? Did they work for you?

I made and ate lactation cookies for three months after I had a dip in supply at ten weeks pp and I do think they help!
At almost nine months pp I still eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning

I have never tried them! Are they just oatmeal based?

I made and ate them before I had to eliminate everything in them from my diet.
My recipe had oatmeal, flax and brewer's yeast as the key lactation ingredients.

@MaisyMay: Yup, those are the important ingredients.

@knittylady: I posted a gluten free version that I used. I think it did help and the more brewers yeast you can stand the better.

I think they helped me when I made them a fee months ago. I'm thinking of making them tonight. Did you use regular oats or steel cut?@knittylady:

Another update!
They seem to be working wonders!! Usually my boobs felt way soft by bedtime and I worried how much he was getting.. not so anymore! And last night we got our first 5.5 hour stretch of sleep - I can't help but think the two are related.... Also pumped 5 oz in ten minutes this morning. So I'm going to keep on eating and baking these crazy cookies!
