Who has time to cook with a baby? I know that I didn’t! These no bake lactation cookies are so easy to make, all you need is a bowl, a measuring cup, and a big spoon. These no bake cookies are loaded with nutrients that may encourage more breast milk production.

I’m a mom of two and a good portion of my breastfeeding experience was with pumping since my first baby was in the NICU when he was born. Breastfeeding was such a roller coaster for me and since I had to start out pumping, supply was always an issue for me.

I’ve tried a lot of different lactation recipes out there and I personally found that they really helped, especially when I was pumping. Some other things that helped me were drinking a ton of water and eating well. Breastfeeding can make you so hungry and thirsty.

Two other things that also helped me with my breastfeeding and pumping journey were the Haakaa manual breast pump and Mother’s Milk tea (be sure to also check out my post on How to Make Mother’s Milk Tea Taste Better.
