This is a slightly different take on the traditional lactation cookies. These also have orange peel and walnuts, which both have stress reducing properties.
*Note: cookies should not be used as a sole means of increasing lactation. Other remedies such as latch positioning, increasing frequency of feeds, and feeding on cue should be tried first.
