A couple of questions...

[sueliz]

Hi there!!

I just have a couple of questions I am hoping you lovely ladies can help me with.

1. I keep reading about these lactation cookies - can someone let me know what the recipe for them is please? I want to boost my supply for these hot days so I can give my DS an extra feed or two if he wants it, (like today he has wanted a couple of extra feeds), and I have just started taking fenugreek again but these cookies sound like a good idea as well.

2.. My DS has just got 3 top teeth in quick succession and we haven't had any trouble with biting yet, but any tips for what to do if he does bite???

3. How does oats increase your milk supply?? I will try this one as I have seen it a few times now, but I am just curious as to if anyone knows how this works....

Thanks in advance!

Hi Susan

The recipe for the lactation boosting cookies is here (http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?t=29207) The "active" ingredients are the oats, flaxseed meal and brewer's yeast.

I'm not sure how the oats (and the other galactagogues) work to increase milk supply, but they seem to work for me at least.

I've used fenugreek and blessed thistle as well as the cookies (and porridge for breakfast), and my supply does seem to increase when I take these.

I can't help with the teeth as DD is only 3 months old, but good luck - fingers crossed you don't get bitten!
