Healthy Cinnamon Raisin Lactation Muffins

Everyone tells you how ravenous newborns are, but no one fills you in on how hungry you’ll be as a breastfeeding mama. A friend told me about special lactation foods that are supposed to increase your milk supply. Some of them, like brewer’s yeast, coconut, oatmeal, and flax seed, are perfect for baking. I don’t know if these foods have been officially and scientifically proven to increase milk production, but I decided to believe the rumor and use it as a good excuse to eat more baked goods.
