Pumpkin Lactation Muffins
Happy Halloween! To celebrate the holiday, I whipped up a batch of Pumpkin Lactation Muffins to enjoy,
These muffins come together in a jiffy and are delicious- dense but not heavy, not too sweet. I used maple syrup and, as written, I actually think they’re a bit savory & work great in place of a regular dinner roll or biscuit alongside a plate of turkey or chili. If you prefer a sweeter muffin try using honey or brown sugar, instead. When I tested this recipe I didn’t use muffin liners, I just oiled the pan with coconut oil and they popped right out with no problem.
These muffins freeze well, so you can make a big batch & save some for later. They’re effective, too! I only had one from the first batch & had noticeably more milk. The flavor of brewer’s yeast isn’t noticeable to me, but some may be more sensitive to it. If that’s the case try decreasing the yeast by half a tablespoon &/or mixing in some yummy extras such as chocolate chips, dry cranberries, pecans, etc.
No one in your home breastfeeding? No problem, just leave out the yeast, no other adjustments are needed.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 c almond or coconut milk
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp powdered ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
-
To a large bowl, add the pumpkin, applesauce, syrup/honey, eggs, milk, vanilla and oil. Whisk until combined.
-
In a smaller bowl mix the flour, oats, baking soda, spices, yeast, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Don’t over-mix, you just need to stir until combined. Batter will look somewhat grainy. *If you’d like to add any mix-ins, like chocolate chips or walnuts, now’s the time to do so.
-
Spoon the batter evenly into the cups.
-
Bake the muffins for 20-22 minutes, until tops spring back when gently touched.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, or they might fall apart.
- Enjoy!

The Breast Expansion Pill: Halloween Cream
If your parents ever told you to be wary about getting what you want, well my advice is to take that warning to heart. Believe me, getting what you want, what you’ve pined for and dreamed of, may actually be the very last thing you need. If you need to know more, just read on.
I’m Amy. I live with my Mom and my stepdad in a quiet street in the suburbs of the third largest city in the state. If it sounds dull, that’s because it is. Well, it was. To be strictly fair to my parents, and to my stepdad in particular, I can’t honestly say he counts as ‘dull’ anymore.
Actually, dull it may have been, but my life was pretty good. I had a lot of friends, plenty of freedom, and I was heading for a place at a good college despite the fact that I didn’t try that hard at school. I was kind of lucky like that. Then there’s my high metabolism. I’ve always had it. Everyone said that when I hit the teenage years, I’d have to watch what I ate more.
But they were wrong. Pizzas, burgers, fried chicken, shakes; it didn’t matter. I never put on weight. A lot of that was down to the dancing classes I did, three times a week, and twice at the weekend. But not entirely. My friend Shea went to all the same classes and she could barely look at a burger without putting on a few pounds. Yet I stayed slim, lithe and cute.
A lot of the girls hated me, so they found other things to pick on about my appearance. Unfortunately, there was one easy target. My chest.
Yes, I know, it’s a standard insecurity. It’s almost a fucking cliché. But there it is. I wasn’t completely flat, but compared to some of my friends, well, all of my friends in fact, I was severely under-endowed.
It hadn’t stopped me dating, and I was no longer a virgin, not after that six weeks I was Nate in the summer, but there were times when I would get really self-conscious about it.
And Halloween was definitely one of those times.
I know you’re supposed to love Halloween, but I hated it. For a start, it was all my friends talked about for like a month beforehand. And it wasn’t like I hated partying or anything. It was the costumes. There were SO many options, so many sexy outfits, but all of them, or almost all of them, involved showing off your chest, and in my case that really wasn’t an option.
So, every Halloween I kind of went into a mini depression. Not full on, just kind of low. Some nights I looked at myself in the mirror, turning this way and that, trying to find ways to emphasize my breasts. But it never worked. Some days I thought that the only way people would think I wasn’t a boy was because I was wearing a dress. Well, that and the make-up, and the voice and the hips and the cute face. But you know what I mean. I know that some boys don’t care about boobs, and I get that, but they seem to be kind of rare, and in any case, even when I had one, in Nate, I didn’t believe him.
I confided to a couple of my friends about it one year and every Halloween after that they made a big effort to cheer me up. But last Halloween I was particularly down. Hannah was having a huge party and I made myself miserable looking at all the cute costumes online. I really wanted to go as a busty vampire or a hot maid or cat girl. But all of those costumes were designed to show off your boobs.
Hannah didn’t help by suggesting that I could get a boob job. I mean, I knew I could, I just didn’t want to. My parents would probably pay for it, but then everyone would know it was fake.
So, there I was, a week before Halloween, lying on my bed, browsing costumes on my phone, making myself feel more and more miserable. Bored and restless, I tried looking up breast growth treatments. I’d tried a few, usually creams from China or Thailand, none of which had any effect. Then I came across an advert that caught my attention. It was for Instant Breast Growth and the before and after pictures were hilarious: a flat chested girl transformed into a huge-breasted goddess.
I laughed out loud. There was no way I was going to fall for that. But the pills were cheap. And the reviews all seemed to be amazing. It was five stars all the way, except for one four-star review that said the breast growth was too much. I sighed and then, idly, clicked on the Buy option.

The Outer Boobs
My latest video game darling Ellie Fenhill (from The Outer Worlds) gets a nice hourglass with some milk on the side.
Ellie took a deep breath as she prepared the syringe full of what should be a nearly miraculous compound for healing wounds. Looking at the self-inflicted cut on her hand, she steadied her breathing and stuck herself with the needle and pushed down on the plunger.
“Here goes nothing,” she quipped. In seconds, the compound worked, and her skin knitted itself back together.
“Huh,” Ellie muttered. “Better than I expected, honestly, I-”
She was cut off as her jacket bulged and she quickly looked down at herself to find her clothes steadily constricting her. Tossing the needle to the side, Ellie pulled her jacket off as the sensation of growth thrilled through her. Lifting her shirt up, the doctor got a better view of her tits bulging around her bra cups. The shirt quickly joined her jacket, as did the bra, once she got the clasp undone.
The doctor had been decently busty beforehand, but this was entirely new territory. Her boobs were beyond handfuls now, and her stiff nipples- they were bigger as well, swelling to keep pace with her breasts. When Ellie could finally pull herself away from her bust, she noticed her pants were tightening around her ass too. Tossing her pistol holster and unbuttoning the fly, she shimmied her way free, and her booty wobbled each time she shifted her weight.
“What the- where the hell are these curves coming from?”
Her tits continued on with their growth, and she slowly brought her hands to them, feeling the weight and heft. A playful grope made Ellie’s knees shake, but she caught herself just in time to notice the droplets of milk running down from her nipples.
“What… the… auugghhmmmfffff…” She trailed off as her hands–possibly disobediently–began to squeeze with abandon, starting up her expression of milk. In moments, even without stimulation, she was leaking. “It feels… so good…” Ellie stumbled and fell to the floor, sliding a little after her plumped booty cushioned her fall. Skittering over to one wall, the doctor leaned against it as the growth ebbed away, but she couldn’t help but keep working herself. Her tits–by now larger than her head–were so full of milk she couldn’t think of not emptying them. The flow of cream soaked into her remaining clothes as she trailed a hand down to the tatters that used to be her panties…

Boobs of Sharon Cassidy
Back on my boob puns thing. Rose of Sharon Cassidy (Cass) from New Vegas gets the ol’ Tie treatment. (BE, lac)
“A new kind of moonshine?” Rose of Sharon Cassidy commented, looking at the bottle in her hand that she’d acquired earlier that day. Kicking off her boots in a creaky motel room, Cass was just glad the building seemed to be free of radroaches. The brunette popped the bottle open after sitting down in a rickety chair across from a bed she was sure was lumpy. Swilling some of the booze down, Cass felt like something was… off. It still burned like alcohol should, but something felt different about it.
Before she could figure out exactly what it was, her shirt buttons burst off and her swelling tits shone in the lamp light. Jaw hanging open, Cass dropped the bottle as she could do nothing but watch her body change. In a matter of seconds, she was growing absurdly larger; with barely a bat of her eyelashes her boobs were bigger than her head. Without warning, her tits let loose a torrent of milk, eliciting a deep, throaty moan from her.
Cass could barely put a thought together as the deep eroticism of her growth and lactation thrilled through her, and her arms, almost on autopilot, squeezed her tits together, forcing her milk out faster. She moaned and grew, grew and moaned, all the while flooding her room with seemingly endless quantities of milk. Her fat nipples were the main source of pleasure, the milk gushing from them driving her closer and closer to a climax. Cass struggled to get up from her chair, falling onto her knees and crawling towards her bed, ending up just sitting on the floor and leaning against it.
In seconds, she was almost trapped beneath her tits. They curved around her thighs, the pale but freckled skin stretching around the biggest breasts she’d ever seen, let alone contemplated. Accepting this new turn in life–for now, at least–Cass happily encouraged her flow, slowly reaching back towards the chair to see if any of that moonshine was left.

Bimbo AU Short: Flowers and Peaches
Some more coven bimbofication. Enjoy!
“We have to, like, convince Rosie to join us!” Maddie said, giggling.”And the new girl! She’s, like, sooo hot!”
Portia bounced gently on Maddie’s bed. “I think Rosie already wants to,” the smarter bimbo bubbled. “I dunno about Cassie, though!”
“Maybe if we showed her how much fun we are!” Maddie shivered as she thought. “With, like, Rosie sucking on my boobies and you, um, tonguing me…” The silver-haired bimbo nearly came from the idea.
Portia moaned. “That’s soooo sexy, Mads! So we, like, show her how much fun you have as a little dumb dumb toy, and she’ll totes want to join us!”
“Ooooh, and we can, like, stream it too!”
–
Maddie moaned as the golden-haired young woman sucked on her tits, her transformative milk flowing easily. The bimbo ran her fingers through Rose’s hair, holding her friend to her tit. She could barely think as the camera filmed, her hot pink eyes focused on nothing in particular as she fell back onto her pillows and her supplicant sucked down her milk gleefully.
She giggled. “Feel my m-milk like, making you… hotter, making you, like, dumber… making you, like, better!”
Rose couldn’t help herself, she shoved a hand between her thighs and started getting herself off as her curves grew and her smarts diminished. Maddie’s hips bucked from Portia’s expert tongue on her clit, bringing the dumber of the pair to new levels of pleasure.
Cass, the booty-witch, could feel her willpower draining as she watched Maddie’s free breast leak milk as well, the silver hoop piercing shining as the tit bounced. Rose’s booty and boobs continued to swell, and Cass could see her fingers pulsing in and out of her pussy. The smell and the sounds of their throes of passion overwhelmed her senses.
“Maybe bimbo is better,” she whispered, striding forward towards their bed. She stripped herself down, tossing her clothes to who cares where, before climbing atop the milky bimbo’s available breast. With one last look at the orgy unfolding next to her, all her apprehension melted away, and Cassandra sucked Maddie’s nipple into her mouth, accepting the milk that would change her forever.
What little brain power Maddie had left was gone while Rose and Cass sucked on her tits and Portia ate her out. Cassandra felt the changes start, her fat ass and nonexistent boobs growing larger, and she could swear she felt a little woozy, a little light-headed. To her right, Rose seemed to be having the time of her life, moans and mewls sounding from her regularly. She felt Maddie’s hand on the back of her head, holding her in place.
Suddenly, Rose cried out, rolling off Maddie’s bust. Cass could see just enough from her vantage point to notice the bright pink irises and brainless expression on her face, and the blonde pulled Portia from Maddie’s thighs to her own, leaving the milky bimbo all to Cass. The black woman lifted a hand to Madeline’s other breast, keeping her milk flowing, keeping the tiddie-witch-bimbo in a state of nearly perpetual climax.
Maddie reached down to fondle one of Cassandra’s burgeoning boobs; Cass hadn’t noticed yet, but she was well past handfuls now, and Maddie’s groping felt divine. Her hips wiggled as she struggled to stay atop Madeline’s bust, and she felt the weight of her nearly yoga ball-sized cheeks wobble above her. The weight tipped to one side, finally pulling Cassandra off the fountain of bimbo milk. Rolling onto her back–legs splayed in the air from how enormous her ass was–she idly played with her boobs, giddily bouncing the head-sized masses around.
One of Cass’ hands was pushed away by Maddie latching onto one of her nipples, but not before the original bimbo giggled and smiled. “Cassie bimboooooo,” she bubbled. “How do ya feel?”
Cass thought for a second, trying to push through the fog that had settled into her mind. “Ummm… happy aaaand… dumb. Yeah! Happy and dumb.”

Ultimate Power Lactation Oatmeal - you want this!
I was never an oatmeal eater.
In fact, breakfast wasn’t even really my thing – except for croissants… ALL the croissants.
But once I have birth the hunger started early, and came on hard
Partially due to lack of sleep, but also due to my body being all out-of-sorts, I needed to eat food that kept me full for a LONG time – and really pack in the nutrients.
Breastfeeding was something I was working on – but I was definitely nervous about my supply early on in the beginning.
After doing a ton of research – I found that there were a lot of natural & healthy ingredients that would help boost my milk supply! But instead of eating like, 10 different meals to boost my supply – was it possible to pack everything into ONE dish????
Well, the answer was YES and it was delicious!!!!
As such – the Power oatmeal was born!
I ate this EVERY SINGLE MORNING during the first 18 months of my son’s life – and honestly, still make a batch at least once a month – it’s so good, and sets me up for success for the rest of the day!
Make a batch on Sunday night – and eat it for breakfast every morning!
What’s great is switching up the fruit based on the season – apples in the fall, cherries in the spring, peaches in the summer!
Enjoy either heated or cold – it’s great either way!!!

Mind on My Milk and My Milk on My Mind
Breastfeeding is super difficult for a lot of reasons. But for every reason that it’s so difficult there are five reasons for why it’s so incredible. I’ve been working hard to increase my milk supply so that I can nurse my daughter and then try to pump to build up a supply in the freezer for when I go back to working. My fiance’s cousin introduced me to this amazing invention called a Haakaa. This is a silicone breast pump that suctions to your opposite breast while nursing, to catch the milk that you leak. I use this mostly every time I feed Ivy and I usually catch between half an ounce to one ounce, and I’ve even gotten up to two ounces. I got mine off Amazon for only $12.99, and I’ll put the link to this at the end of my post.
Let me just tell you, WATER IS KEY. I used to think if I drank a good amount of fluid throughout the day I would be good to go. I was wrong. You need to drink A LOT of water through the day. I try to drink an 8 ounce glass of water every time I nurse or pump, and I try to end my day with my big hospital mug full of ice water. When Ivy wakes up during the night to eat, I try to drink some more of that water to keep up.
It’s also super important to take in enough calories. Breastfeeding women should take in at least 1800 calories a day. If you are more active you should take in even more than that. Breastfeeding burns 500 calories a day, so it’s really important that you eat enough. This doesn’t mean you should have ice cream for all your meals, and chips for dessert. Though you need to take in more calories it’s, they should be healthy calories. Eating a diet high in protein, healthy fats and healthy carbohydrates is a good way to get in enough calories while remaining healthy.
I strongly recommend trying Mother’s Milk Tea, if you like hot tea. I make mine with lemon and honey, and I think it tastes really good. Don’t let the initial smell turn you off, I promise it’s tasty! After drinking the tea I noticed that I produced double when pumping, compared to before trying the tea.
Lastly, there are different snacks you can bake with ingredients like brewers yeast, and flax seed that are great at helping to increase production. I found a good recipe for Pumpkin Spice Lactation Muffins; you can find the recipe at the end of this post. The muffins were not super flavorful, but did not taste bad at all. After eating my first muffin I noticed that I became engorged much sooner than I normally had. I have a pinterest board where I’ve saved a bunch of different recipes I will be trying; I will also have that link at the end of this post.
Like I stated at the beginning of this post, breastfeeding is hard. Our littles need us to be there as soon as they are hungry, and we must drop everything for them. While we aren’t nursing or pumping we are trying to make sure that we produce enough milk for them. It’s a lot of work but it’s so incredibly worth it. The bond I have with my children because I nursed them is something I will cherish forever, and the nutrition and antibodies they get from my milk have no comparison.

breastfeeding: a last resort
The Global Breastfeeding Scorecard, which evaluated 194 nations, found that only 40% of children younger than six months are breastfed exclusively (given nothing but breastmilk) and only 23 countries have exclusive breastfeeding rates above 60 percent. 😢
Breastfeeding is treated as a last resort to families.⠀40%??????? This is a public health crisis. As advocates we teach about the benefits of breastfeeding but we need to emphasize the risks of not breastfeeding more.
Could this potentially be a tipping point to human extinction??
We think so.⠀
Why the low breastfeeding rates you ask?? • limited breastfeeding support⠀
• competent staff training⠀
• lack of support for nursing mothers returning to work ⠀⠀
But most importantly..⠀
The aggressive promotion by the formula industry and the ineffective monitoring of legislation that bans aggressive promotion of formula. ⠀
courtesy of Pinterest ⠀
This GREATLY undermines our efforts to increase rates of breastfeeding worldwide. ⠀⠀
Our views are backed by science and you cannot deny the biological benefits of breast milk. It was specifically designed to feed human babies. ⠀
Lactivists such as myself are not anti formula but are advocates of using breast milk alternatives such as donor milk and formula as the LAST resort to infant feeding. Formula has its place in the maternal world when mothers physically or medically cannot breast/chest feed and for medical complications for a baby. ⠀⠀
Mothers need effective lactation counseling (from peer counselors, breastfeeding specialists and IBCLC) and a support system to accomplish breastfeeding goals, it’s a fact!!
Honey, if you are unable to breastfeed or choose not to breastfeed but still want the highest source of nutrition for your baby, explore alternative options for breast milk through Milk Donor banks in your city. There are donor milk groups on FB as well. ⠀
If you do choose to supplement with formula we support you too, please know that our job is to help you maintain your milk supply because some breast milk is better than none at all, honey!! ⠀⠀
How can we help you achieve your goals today, honey?
