Since Zofia was a week old I have had enough milk to feed 3 babies. The only problem was it came out like a fire hose and made her cough, sputter, and fuss. I started researching and discovered that I had breastmilk oversupply & hindmilk/foremilk imbalance. So I started using their suggestions for cutting back. This was a mistake. My production has PLUMMETTED. I'm freakin' out man. I'm in panic mode. I'm making her nurse like crazy, I'm adding pumping sessions, and I'm drinking beer. Call it an old-wives' tale if you must, but it's always worked for me. The problem? I don't like beer. The solution?
Grumbles and Grunts' World Famous Milk Maker Cookies!!
Oatmeal and beer are two of many items thought to increase milk supply, so a-baking we went!
(Athena's baking in her witch costume.)
These cookies are the perfect vehicle to get all the oatmeal and beer-y goodness into me without all the beer-y taste or alcohol! And this morning? I nursed Zofia then pumped out 3 extra feedings .
I believe that's what you call BOO-YAH!!!!!

You and Jonald both deserve it. High five on the cookie recipe, fo shizz.
Thanks for good stuff
SQUEEEEE!!!! I LOVE helping with good stuff!!!
Those sound great! Oatmeal always works wonders for me. I also have an oversupply and a forceful letdown. Milk would seriously shoot across the room and my daughter would pull off, stare at me like WTF and choke. I talked to a lactation consultant and she suggested pumping for a few minutes prior to nursing. It works for me. Glad you found an answer and you have such a great supply! That.is.awesome!!!!
Guinness cookies? Sounds interesting!!
I need to know what Athena's wearing.
It's a Halloween witch costume that she's had for like 2 years. She wears it from time to time.
These cookies sound like magic. Ms. Bee looks cute!
