Lactation cookies are a tasty way to get your baby what he needs. The word "lactation" just means "nursing," but it's not the same thing as breastfeeding. While nursing, your baby gets all of the nutrients he needs from the food you eat and drink, but when you're breastfeeding, that food is for both of you—and it goes into your body. If we talk about the Lactation Brownies Recipe, it's made with a blend of herbs and vitamins that help to increase your milk supply, including fenugreek and galactagogue.
