[Everything doTERRA] Re: Increase Milk Production

This is my third baby and I nursed the other two 14 and 17 months.
She bit me pretty bad about a week ago and so I have been very tense
while nurseing because the sore spot hurts SO bad (bleeding and
everthing). My milk started to go down then and then I did not know
to stay away from peppermint and I had put it on her feet because she
had a fever. The next time I nursed her I could feel the peppermint
all in my lips and fingertips. It stayed in my system all day and I
think that may have affected it too. I would love the recipe for the
cookies.
