This is a recipe I was given by the lovely Midwives at GW Hospital. They appear easy to make and easy to freeze, so you can have them when you need them.

It also might be a nice activity to do during the beginning stages of labor (especially if you are a first-time Mama and you need some distraction).

***Whole Wheat Flour, Oats, Flax, Walnuts, and Nutritional Yeast are all foods that help make abundant milk.
