hey all you nursing moms.....(and cookie lovers everywhere)

tray85 posted a link to these super yummy Lactation Boosting Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, and Flaxseed cookies a few weeks ago.

They are SO.FOOKING.GOOD

Better than any oatmeal cookie I've ever had.

When I make 'em again, I'm going to try to up the amount of flaxseed and brewers yeast a bit. The oatmeal camoflauged any offputting taste and texture.


Oh yeah, and I've noticed a bit of excess supply. Awesome, as I'm really trying to stock up the freezer this month

I was amazed at how good they were! My husband was wary and pointed out that you could taste some of the "special" ingredients, but he really liked them anyway.

Absolutely work on that freezer stash! You will be so thankful.

since you've been there/done that for the freezer stash, mind if I ask how you did things in the early months?

Did you send 'fresh' bottles every day and keep the frozen stash for emergencies, or did you pump=and=freeze, then send ONLY frozen to daycare? Or a combo of both?

I did a combo of frozen and fresh and also nursed her during the day. (I ended up losing my entire freezer stash after discovering that I had a lipase problem and everything had gone bad - even in the freezer! So that made my life more difficult :( )

Now I send a freezer bag for bottle number one, pump at work and bring down bottle number two.

Will you be able to see/nurse Ben during the day?

no, but the current plan is to have him in DC from 9-3. I'll leave for work early, so Judd may have to give him a bottle before he drops Ben off.
