Eggless Lactation Cookies

Hi mamas!!
Let it be known that I am not anti- dairy or anti- egg by any means. However- as mentioned back around the holidays 2016- my little had a reaction to my eating too much dairy and egg. I went a little crazy on my "taste-testing"! I am sure most can relate to that.

That said- here I am, 9 (almost 10) months post- partum and my little LAMM loves nothing more than a satisfying nursing session. I have had my share of friends and relatives express their opinions that (summarized)- soon I won't have to nurse anymore. I know they don't mean any negativity with those opinions- but nursing has been an honest joy for me. I know not everyone has that experience - but it's been mine. I am also intending to nurse as long as my LO wants to, or for as long as my body will allow. Why not continue to fuel my body with the yumminess it needs to support this effort?
I've gone from molding my own version of lactation "boobie bites" to "milk magic" cookies.

One of my recipes, undoubtedly tweaked from three or four recipes I have tried from other mommy'S recipe books- mine replaces your normal butter addition with coconut oil and omits the egg.

I hope you can enjoy these cookies as much as I do- and remember not to go too heavy with Brewers yeast. Straying too far from this recipe will result in a much different cookie texture. * I've tried adding PB2 and an extra scoop of BY and it went BADLY.

1 c. Whole wheat flour
1.5 c Rolled Oats (quick oats are fine!)
3 Tablespoons Brewers Yeast
2 Tablespoons Flaxseed Meal(ground)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 Softened coconut oil (if you need to microwave- make sure not entirely melted)
1/4 teaspoon each: baking soda, baking powder and salt
1 cup chocolate chips ( I like to mix dark and white if I don't have milk choc. )
Bake at 350 (1 dozen cookies on each sheet) until golden. Shouldn't take more than 20 mins!

Soft as a LAMM Bum Balm: 3 (or 4) ingredients

Happy Monday! I sit here in utter disbelief that its about to be February! Where is the time going already?!

Like many mommy's, I am usually on the prowl for a safer, more natural way to treat my baby girls ailments. I was so excited to give the "homemade" route a try and went to town on ordering and shopping for the ingredients I would need to successfully do so.

I am a huge proponent of Baby Aquaphor and Burt's Bee's multi purpose ointments. They are my everyday use products that keep my little Princess smoothe bottomed & free of diaper rash- redness.

That being said- I plan to use the homemade ointment intermittently while still using my go-to products.

* Be mindful to always test each ingredient on your child's skin to ensure no allergic reaction!*


My first attempt is homemade *NATURAL* diaper cream/ointment. This is what I did and what products I used:

Organic Beesworks White Beeswax Pellets $11.78 (14 oz) Amazon
Coconut Oil
Not pictured: Organic Shea Butter, Lavender Essential Oil

Step 1: Melt together 1/2 cup Shea Butter, 1/2 cup coconut oil and 2 tbsp Beeswax

Step 2: Once melted, pour into your 4 oz jar (Mine are from the Target dollar section & are adorable!)

Step 3: Cool & cap! The balm will be the consistency of a lip-balm once set.

Step 4: For a creamier, more pliable texture- I suggest whipping your balm. If you elect to do this--- step 4 is actually your step 3. While whipping, add in 10 to 15 drops of your Lavender essential oil. If you are using an adjusted amount of shea butter and coconut oil[aka Carrier Oil] (ie: making a smaller batch), you will use LESS Lavender Oil.

Once whipped, re-fill the container and you're ready to use your homemade booty balm!

Again, please be sure to always check with your pediatrician before trying any new products---especially if your little has any sensitivities!

Wishing all of your littles a happy, comfy bum!
