Black Dahlia - they gave me in the hospital too and said go ahead, it won't hurt the baby.
 
I swear by the cookies - they had my producing like a cow until alittle over 12 months when I suddenly dried up - could be related to my eating.  These cookies I replaced the egg with ground flax seed mixed with water. I also replaced the nuts and chocolate chips with raisins. I also replaced butter with apple sauce. I had to make extra (not telling DH what they were for) because DH would eat them too. They are calorie dense though (not that you would try to diet at this time but in the interest of full disclosure).

Major Milk Makin' Cookies
Recipe by Kathleen Major
Detailed recipe with photos found here


1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 3/4 c. oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 c. almond butter or peanut butter
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. flax
3 T brewer's yeast
1/3 c. water
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
2 c. (12oz) chocolate chips
1 c. chopped nuts of your choice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a bowl.
In a large bowl, beat almond butter, butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, brewer's yeast, flax and water until creamy.
Mix in eggs.
Gradually beat in flour mixture.
Mix in nuts and chocolate chips.
Add oats slowly, mixing along the way.

Place balls of dough onto greased baking sheets or baking stones.
Press down each ball lightly with a fork.
Bake 12 minutes.



Momma's Milk Cookies
recipe by Danelle Frisbie

2 eggs
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce
1 c. flax
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. melted butter
2 c. Agave nectar
3/4 c. walnuts (crushed)
2 c. chocolate chips
3/4 c. raisins
4 T water
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
4 T brewer's yeast
3 c. oats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

I have found greased cookie sheets work best, but you can also use parchment lined sheets or a baking stone.

In a bowl mix flax and water until thoroughly mixed.
In a large bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt and brewer's yeast.
In another bowl mix together butter and ONE cup Agave nectar (the other cup will be used later). Stir well until the butter and nectar are completely mixed.
Add eggs to the nectar mix, stirring well after each one.
Add vanilla, stir.
Add the nectar blend to the flax and mix well. (A hand mixer or mixing bowl works best)
Pour the nectar/flax blend into the large bowl of flour and mix well.
Mix in walnuts, chocolate chips, raisins.
Mix in oats.
After everything is blended together well, add the applesauce and final 1 cup of Agave nectar and stir through well.

Scoop onto sheets, and press down each ball of dough lightly with a fork.
Bake 13-14 minutes.


Vegan options for both recipes:

In place of eggs - 3 tsp of egg replacer mixed with 4 T water OR 4 tsp of milled flax with 4 T water.

In place of butter - butter substitute like Earth Balance OR 3/4 the amount worth of Canola oil or Crisco (although Crisco is not a healthy option) OR 1/2 c. milled flax and 1/2 c. applesauce

Breastea has really did big things for my milk supply. You can get it from breastea.com. I went from pumping 1/2 ounce at a time to over 5 ounces. You will want to drink it daily and breastfeed/pump often.

I was able to fill up 2 8 oz bottles every two hours because i intially started pumping while breast feeding and i would get her to latch on every hour just to convince my body that i needed more...it wa hard actually making myself wake up to keep this cycle going to get the production up but it worked. I was able to store my milk in a freezer i had purchased just for the breast milk. I also drank a lot of water, continued with my prenatal vitamins, light work hour to stay healthy (nothing crazy since i can affect your milk supply) and stay on my increased veggie/fruit/protein intake. I didn't drink milk at all but i had a calcuim supplement.  I breast feed both of my kids till they were 14 mons old (due to my supply I had).

I have really bad low milk supply. I got down to just pumping 1/2 ounce per pumping. After a visit to the lactation consultant I decided to try some herbs. She had given me a list of them to try. I've been drinking a tea from http://www.favorsandflavors.net and it really does work. I can now pump about five ounces per pumping. Make sure to breastfeed/pump often and drink the tea daily for low milk supply.

My boobs started leaking at 30 weeks, but I don't know if that's any indication that I will produce a lot of milk after birth. I'll be looking into those supplements posted on the previous page if eating and drinking more does no good. Good info ladies!
