Like I said in your post, I used to make this when DS was nursing constantly - it is really more like a piece of poundcake than bread, but it has some nutritional components to it. I would toast a piece, spread it with peanut butter & drink with whole milk, figuring that had to add up to a good number of calories for him to suck out of me & hopefully leave a few to spare. Plus, it was easier to eat with a kid on the boob than even a bowl of cereal. Also, I usually double the recipe, figuring if I'm making the mess...hope you try it & enjoy. Peace.
