What makes these lactation cookies are the galactagogues like oats. One of the reasons for decreased milk supply is low iron levels.

• Oats are super high in iron so some studies have shown that oats help with milk production. 
• Flaxseed is high in omega-3 fatty acids (which are great for baby) and it also contains phytoestrogens that can influence breast milk production. 
• Fenugreek seeds are related to the pea family and contain potassium, vitamin C, and diosgenin (the compound that is said to help breastfeeding and milk supply).
• Adding HeShouWu will help moms support their iron, antioxidants, and other minerals.
• Reishi will help with stress levels, adrenal health, and immune support; all massively important in the crucial postpartum time.
