Chubby Babies Cookies from Good Natured Gourmet |
The women at ANM even provided me with a recipe for
lactation cookies. However, when I started shopping for supplies, I noticed
this was going to be quite an investment for something I wasn't even sure was
going to work. I was feeling frustrated, defeated, tired, and almost to the
point of giving up with exclusively breastfeeding.
Then, I saw ANM advertising a premade mix for lactation
cookies. All you have to add is a stick of butter and an egg to the mixture.
With preparation and baking, everything takes about 15 minutes. That's it!
Although both mixes I purchased were DELICIOUS, I tried cooking the second
batch about a minute longer which made the cookies hold together a little
better. Both mixes I tried were very moist and tasty and made my house smell
heavenly! I think they may have also brought us good luck in selling our house because our house sold the day after I made them!
As far as an increase in milk production, I noticed some
difference in how long my 4 month old son stayed full. Typically, he nurses
every 2-3 hours during the day. At night, he'd wake up at least once around 2
or 3 am to nurse. The cookies seemed to help extend this time to about 3-4
hours during the day, and he ended up sleeping through the night!
I would definitely recommend this product to moms who
need a boost in their milk supply. These cookies disappeared from the plate
fast in our house. My husband enjoyed several before realizing what they were!
I will be going back for more soon.
