These lactation cookies are great for breastfeeding mothers. They are moist and super yummy and they help boost and/or maintain milk supply. And yes, husbands can eat them too! I have to hide these from my hubby when I make them. The brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, flax seeds, and whole oats are why these cookies help with milk supply for lactating moms. Don’t skip those ingredients!
