Feeding a miniature human from your body takes so much energy and effort, which is why most breastfeeding mothers are oftenveryhungry and thirsty after each breastfeeding session. Instead of snacking on unhealthy food, lactation cookies are a more nutritious alternative. You get to satisfy your hunger while maintaining your figure!
One of the main ingredients of lactation cookies is oatmeal. Oats are known to be high in fibre and can aid in your bowel movements, eventually helping you to shed some of your postpartum weight gain.
The key ingredients in lactation cookies are brewer’s yeast. The combined nutrients inbrewer’s yeastare believed to aid in managing depression, though there aren’t enough studies to support this claim. However, a little sugar fix from eating lactation cookies can definitely help in boosting your mood.
We at SLB strongly believe there is NO substitute for best breastfeeding practices (feeding on demand, correct latching, skin-to-skin), good counsel from a professional lactation consultant, La Leche League leader, or meeting with a our local breastfeeding support groups to get you and your baby off to the strongest start possible.
SLB Lactation bakes are the perfect answer to a breastfeeding mom’s busy lifestyle. Whether you are home with your kiddos or pumping at work, our bakes are specifically tailored to meet your needs. We pack a ton of brewer’s yeast in every bar, double the amount of lactation cookie recipes posted on the internet. The brewer’s yeast delivers a mom her essential B vitamins and trace minerals which specifically aid in fighting off postpartum depression, boosting immunity, and beautifying hair, nails and skin. The ground flax in our bakes provides essential omega 3 fatty acids which can be passed on through breast milk to your baby. The Lactation Cookies and Lactation Muffins deliver the extra breastfeeding calories we need healthfully. Our Lactation Cookies are especially useful for times when mamas can use an extra boost due to a return to work, growth spurt, stress, exhaustion, sickness and travel.
As early as possible. Many mummies bought ourlactation cookiesdays before their delivery and brought it with them to the delivery suit and starts to eat them as soon as they give birth ( latching their baby, offering skin to skin first of course).
We also do provide an e-guide on how to eat our lactation bakes and fit it into your routine after the cookies are delivered to you. ( Be sure to check your email!).
SLB suggests you enjoy 10-12 cookies per day and or with 1-2 muffins a day for best results. You may feel fuller by that evening, or it may take a few days before you notice a boost in supply. Some women may not experience an increase; each body is different and responds differently to foods. However, SLB have helped many mummies with milk supply and deliver on taste and nutrition to everyone.Each mother respond differently to lactation cookies. Some moms notice a significant increase in their milk supply within a few days of eating, while some take a few weeks or so.
Absolutely! There is no mystery estrogen in Our lactation bakes, just whole, honest ingredients. With sustained energy from oats, omega 3s from flax, these bakes are the perfect addition to any man’s gym bag, briefcase. Bring on the daddies!
Yes! Your little snack monsters will thank you for it, and so will their growing bodies and brains. Better pack enough for everyone at the playdate. Our stash is always mysteriously “disappearing.”
Basically anyone in the family can eat the cookies! ( my 3 and 6 year old are my cookie tester!) however,Lactation bakes arenot suitable for pregnant ladies but its ok to start eating them straight after birth.
There is no clear-cut answer to this. Every mummy is coming from her own starting point and set of circumstances. We’d love to hear your personal experience with breastfeeding and how incorporating Our bakes into your diet has helped you. Write us ator leave a comment on our facebook page:. Don’t forget to continue to put baby to breast as often as possible, pump when necessary, stay hydrated and, most importantly, well-rested (yeah, right). I commend you for even reading this far.
