Dairy Free Boobie Bites

So I have a million things to catch up my followers on this blog, but today I wanted to take a second and do a quick post on a new recipe for lactation cookies! I recently welcomed baby number two to the world and he is as sweet as can be, however, the handsome fella has an intolerance to dairy so I have been spending the past month changing everything about my diet to help his tummy feel better.

Avery is over the moon to be a big sister!  We have been blessed with a very smooth transition from only child to big sister!  The other night she was loving on him and I said, “Avery, you sure do love your brother, don’t you?”  She replied, “Yes, I do.  Thank you for putting him in your belly!”  If that doesn’t melt your heart, I don’t know what will.

When I get some extra time, I need to do some catch up posts and I will do our announcement, maternity photos and all of these adorable newborn pictures from Jo Snaps.  I am also hoping to create a shop store front right here so you can purchase party decor from my Etsy store Savor Each Second right here on my blog!

So here we are at 2 months and the chunker is already over 13 pounds!  I sure need to keep my supply up for this boobie monster!  Going dairy free has been easier than I thought, but it has definitely been an adjustment. We are 4 weeks going strong and I am seeing many improvements in his tummy!  What is crazy, is that it actually takes 8 weeks to see if it even works completely.  I have learned so much from a Facebook group called Dairy Free Diet – Breastfeeding.  If you are in need of a good support group for a dairy intolerance in your infant, I highly recommend searching for that group on Facebook!

Since going dairy free, my oversupply has taken a huge dip.  I am having to do a lot of things to help keep up my supply.  It is amazing all of the good fat you get from all those delicious dairy filled foods.  I am eating lots of avocado, oatmeal, lactation cookies, and drinking a ton of Body Armour drinks and water.

I have posted a no bake lactation cookie recipe when I was breastfeeding Avery and had tried the Keto diet and it killed my supply.  I used the recipe to up my supply and they worked wonderfully.

Now that I have gone dairy free, I have tweaked the recipe a bit and am loving the results!  I have had to substitute dairy free chocolate chips and added some coconut oil to up the healthy fats.  Coconut oil is a new staple in my house.  I have always used it for diaper cream, but now I am using it as a butter substitute as well!  I should probably start putting it in my coffee too!  Coconut oil is so good for you!

I did not get pictures of this tutorial as I am lucky to even have time to make them these days, let alone blog on them, but here I am!  (You should see me typing right now with my babe strapped to me in my Solly Wrap as I type!)  I have just a few minutes to finish this post up before starting dinner for the hubs and toddler so it’s ready when they get back from the gym.  So here is the recipe!
