I need a boost - a boost in milk supply that is. I always struggle with milk production as soon as my baby is around eight months. It happened with my daughter and now with my son. As with my daughter, I turned to my old favorite, fenugreek. Yes, it does make me smell like maple syrup, but it worked. However, I wanted to try something new. I don't know about you, but sometimes I just don't feel like popping ten pills a day.
When I mentioned my supply issues to a friend, she told me about this new cookie that is supposed to increase milk supply. Of course, I had to check it out. I googled "breast milk cookies" and discovered Milkmakers.
How does it work? These cookies contain three special ingredients to help increase milk production - oats, brewers yeast, and flax seed. The Milkmakers website boasts that eating only one or two a day has shown to increase milk production. So, of course, I placed an order and was amazed with how great they tasted {I ordered the oatmeal chocolate chip}. I also saw results! So, if you are looking for a quick boost, check out Milkmakers cookies. I think you {and your baby} will be happy!
I am busy mentally {and physically} getting myself ready to have a third child. Does it really take that much mental preparation you might ask? If you've had the type of pregnancies I have had, you would know the answer to that question.
The easiest part of that preparation is picking out products and clothes for this aspirational baby #3 {okay, maybe that's not part of it, but it's fun anyway}. I was excited to stumble across a new brand/type of baby bottle called Bare Bottles.
I am a huge proponent of breastfeeding, but every mommy
needs a break every now and then {and daddy wants to participate too}.
So I'm always on the lookout for bottles that support breastfeeding.
The other feature I look for is a bottle that successfully reduces or eliminates the amount of air the baby takes in. There is nothing that drives
sleep-deprived parents to new depths than colic. Indeed, I don't even
utter the c-word in my house during those first 3 months.
They are not on the market yet, but these Bare Bottles sound as if they will meet all of my {and baby #3's} need. The diagram above shows how the Bare Bottle nipple is more like a breast than most bottles. And they claim to have created "air-free feeding"! If they live up to all of their claims, this sounds like the mother of all bottles {and they are cute too!}. But we'll let baby trip be the judge.☺
