Lactation Cookies

As a first time mother, I was faced with the challenge of my breast milk not coming in for two weeks after I had my daughter. After my milk came in, I soon realized that I was not producing enough on my own. Thus, my search began to find a natural remedy. That is when I found a recipe for lactation cookies. I adjusted a few of the ingredients and measurements and came up with this recipe. It really does work.
