Power Packed Oatmeal for the Nursing Mother

Add:
2 Eggs
2-3 TBSP Vanilla Protein Powder
2 TBSP Nutritional Yeast
1 TBSP Ground Flax
Add dried fruits if you like. Those that increase milk production are:
Figs Dates and Apricots
Cook until eggs done
Will Keep in refrigerator for 2-3 days
Oatmeal Muffins:
3 mashed bananas
1 c of milk
2 eggs
1 tblsp baking powder
3 c oats (can use quick-cook or regular. Can use steel cut; but soak the batter longer so the oats softened a bit)
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c chocolate chips (optional)
Preheat oven to 375. Mix the batter and let it absorb some of the liquid while you prepare the muffin tins. Since there's no flour, the batter will look a little bit like oats sitting in milk:-) Bake for about 25 minutes. Makes 12-18 muffins. These are chewier and heartier than regular flour muffins:-)

Natural Recipes for Baby Care
Mosquito/tick spray:
Use 15 drops of Purification oil & 10 drops or more of Peppermint oil in 4 ounces of distilled water. Put it in a spray/mist bottle to apply. If I was using this on babies I might consider to not make it quite as strong. Either by putting that amount of oil in 8 oz. or cutting down the number of drops for the 4 oz.
Baby Wipes
Cloth wipes are truly easy to use. You can premix your wipes solution and moisten a few wipes when you're out and about. Simply place them into a re-sealable plastic bag, or into a travel wipes container and you're ready to go. Throw them into the dirty duds bag or a plastic shopping bag along with your diapers when you use them. (Recipes sourced from the internet)
Basic Baby Wipes Solution #1
1/2 cup light olive oil
4 cups water
1/2 cup gentle baby shampoo
1 roll paper towels cut in half
2 empty baby wipes containers, plastic coffee cans, or other containers
Mix olive oil, water, and baby shampoo. Remove the cardboard center from both halves of paper towels.
Place halves of paper towels in 2 separate containers. Pour 1/2 of mixture into each container, cover and shake gently. Pull sheet from the center of the paper towel roll and poke through the hole in top of baby wipe container; or cut hole in lid of plastic coffee can. Use just like regular store-bought wipes.
NOTE: I don’t recommend a metal coffee can just to avoid any corrosion that might occur.
