Lactation cookies recipe

[HamAndPlaques]

A dear friend is working very hard to bring in her milk for her newborn after a difficult birth and an extended stay in hospital, so I would like to make some lactation cookies for her. There are lots of recipes on Google but does anyone have a tried and tested one that they would recommend?

Hi, I was searching for Lactation cookies and saw this post. That's such a sweet gesture @HamAndPlaques and I know it's been so long since you posted but did you manage to make them and what was the recipe if you don't mind sharing? Did it work?

Are you struggling @shininglight16?

Wow, this is a blast from the past when I had a lot more time on my hands!

I’m sorry to say that no, there was no noticeable impact @shininglight16 . I quickly realised that including enough fenugreek to have any possible effect would make them absolutely inedible. My advice would be to make some oat-based normal cookies which actually taste nice as a one-handed breastfeeding snack and for the lactating mother to take a fenugreek supplement (as long as she doesn’t mind her milk and sweat smelling faintly of fenugreek).
