Oatmeal Coconut Lactation Cookies

Breast milk issues can be a big deal. Some mothers and babies have it easy – the milk comes in, the babies latch, and the freezer fills up. Not everyone is blessed this way (or cursed… engorgement anyone?). So, what does a husband know about all this?! I’m no expert, but I do know how to listen. Men like action plans and solutions. These cookies are my plan for low milk. Oh and great tasting cookies? Low milk or not, no wife says no to that!
