If you eat lactation cookies and feel like the room is spinning, discontinue eating them. It may be a good idea to try eating lactation cookies on a day that you do not have to drive in case you experience this side effect. I personally did not have these side effects, but based on my research, some women have experienced them.
It may be beneficial to cut back and only have one or two lactation cookies per day as a quick treat. If you feel that you need larger amounts of the ingredients to boost your milk supply, try eating the ingredients in different forms.
However, if you eat the cookie right after feeding your baby, you can feel engorged. Take your first lactation cookie of the day 2 hours before feeding your baby or your pumping session. Take another one at night 2 hours before your last feeding or pumping session.
It may be better to start eating lactation cookies that are made with a smaller dose of brewer’s yeast. This can help you to avoid some of the side effects. Start by eating a small amount, like half of a tablespoon of brewer’s yeast.

Oversupply can also cause leaking which is uncomfortable. Leaking can be embarrassing if you are not prepared with breast pads or an extra change of clothes.
Despite this, many women feel that these ingredients help them to produce more milk. Lactation cookie recipes include these ingredients due to their nutritional benefits. Even though they are nutritious, these ingredients may cause negative side effects in some women.
However, the good news is that not all women experience these side effects. Even though there are some uncomfortable side effects, lactation cookies may also boost your milk supply. This is due to the health benefits of the ingredients. It may be worth experimenting with one ingredient at a time.
