As a breastfeeding mom you get bit of ‘free reign’ to enjoy some treats under the logic that it’s for the baby. Lactating mothers require approximately 500 more calories per day and hearty lactation cookies are the perfect treat to enjoy during a late night feeding session.
I’ve been using the Lactation Cookie recipe from One Part Sunshine. Each cookie is packed with galactogogues like oatmeal and flaxseed that are known to increase lactation. The recipe itself takes only 15-20 minutes to pull together and is perfect for getting a batch into the oven during nap time.
With everything that comes with taking care of a new baby, the last thing you need is dealing with cleaning old bakeware or struggling to lift cookies off a cookie sheet that’s lost it’s non-stick.
A new baking set from Wilton is a must have for new mom’s to will help make her day a bit easier. My favorite is the 9 piece diamond-infused non-stick set. A bold and beautiful navy color this set includes two round cake pans [for future birthday cakes], a cookie sheet, muffin tin, rectangle deep pan and silicone injected spatulas.
Wilton has been the leader in bakeware and cake decorating for over 90 years, and it shows. I have been so impressed with how evenly everything bakes as well as perfect non-stick experience.
I’ve been making a ton of lactation cookies as well has working on some meal prep to create good habits for when I head back to the office after my maternity leave is over. The deep rectangle pan with cover is perfect for tossing together a meal that can be stored in the fridge until time for dinner.
Each pan is fully non-stick thanks to the diamond-infused coating and can be tossed into the dishwasher when everything is done for easy clean-up. No new mom needs to deal with more hand washing than necessary.
I’m going to try converting some baked oatmeal into a lactation friendly recipe by adding in brewers yeast and flaxseed next! What other lactation recipes should I test out?
