Lactation Cookies – Fall Themed Almond

Lactation Cookies – Fall Themed Almond

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor nor lactation specialist. This cookie recipe was created based on different online sources which discussed food that could possibly increase your breast milk production. I felt like these cookies – along with a healthy diet and exercise – made me feel better about my production. However, as they are not the only factor, and are probably only contributing in a minor capacity, and might just be my excuse to eat cookies! Recipe modified from…
