This may not seem like much to a lot of people that are breastfeeding and pumping, but it is HUGE for me. I stay very hydrated, I was eating plenty of healthy calories and trying every trick in the book, and even then I was only getting MAYBE 0.5-1oz after pumping and couldn’t ever save any to freeze for later. It was so frustrating, because my son would unlatch because he was not getting anything anymore. He lost over 12% of his body weight in the first week, so I had to supplement. I ordered these and started eating one pack a day, this was what I got the second day during my mid-afternoon pumping session. I now have 13oz saved and frozen which is such a huge deal for me! These cookies not only work, but they taste fantastic! I enjoy crunchy cookies over chewy cookies so these are perfect in my opinion. I’ve ordered another one of these already and plan to keep ordering these as long as I am pumping!
I saw a dip in supply only 1 month after my daughter was born. A friend told me she used these to increase her supply so I decided to give them a try. After eating 2 packs of the cookies a day for 3 days straight, I started to see an increase. In the mornings, I use to pump 3oz total. Now, I pump 6-12 oz during my morning pump before work. My daughter is now 2 1/2 months and I still eat the cookies at least once a day. Only thing that kills me is that since I’m lactose intolerate, these cookies upset my stomach. But otherwise, it does the job.
They seem to help. I’m also drinking 4 bags of Mother’s Milk tea a day but my milk production went down again likely due to the return of my menstral cycle, so I bought these to take too. I eat one bag, sometimes 2 a day. They’re good and appear to help. I guess my only complaint would be that they seem a bit pricey. You get 10 bags for $20 which sounds great, but when you break it down to that $20 only gets you through 10 days (that being 1 serving per day) it seems buying formula might actually be cheaper.
I bought these because my milk supply took a dip when my monthly cycle returned. I needed a boost in my milk supply so I used these together with the mother's milk tea and had a better bedtime feeding for my 8 month old the same day. Plus the cookies are yummy and crunchy!
Omg I am in love! I pumped a whole 5oz poet feeding after eating these. 2 bags a day. They are so good too. I'm so happy I bought these! 6wks and I have a stash already. I'm so happy about these and I am DEFINITELY buying more.
*UPDATE* MY SUPPLY IS STILL GOING STRONG.

These cookies have a great taste and work well. They are a crunchy cookie and a little crumbly. I notice a difference in my supply within 24 hours of eating 1 package. I average an extra 3 to 4 oz per day when using this product. I wish they were more available and offered faster shipping
This are delish!!! Love it so much. I had to take medication cause I was sick and it killed my milk supply so much that I didn’t even bother to pump and dump anymore. I was so sick that I stayed in bed most of the time.
After a week of recovery I was dried out...maybe a drop left when I tried pumping. I was devastated and felt so bad cause now wasn’t able to feed my baby. I was determined to get my milk supply back.
This together with mothers milk = MIRACLE FOR LACTATING MOMS! After two days of consistent pumping a few drops, i was able to pump an oz. it might not be much for some but i cried!!
After a week I was able to give my baby one full feeding a day. You don’t know how good it feels for giving your baby just only one bottle of your milk. After two weeks I was able to get one full feeding in two pumping sessions.
Trust me mommies, there’s hope if you’re trying to relactate. After a month I can say that I have successfully relactated. Happy mommy with happy baby.
Tasted good except they were soooooo dry that they were hard to eat. But they worked and that’s all that matters. The price is a little high. I felt like if they increased my supply by a couple OZ a day then I’d keep buying but they only increased a little. That’s something though! I tried everything else & these were the only thing that worked besides heat & massaging while pumping.
I’m yet to have CRAZY results like some of the other customers but considering I was only getting 1 ounce at most (from both breasts!!) when I was pumping before I started use, I’m happy to be back up to almost 3 oz. hope to see more results soon.
These helped my supply increase but I recommend taking a supplement along with it like "Let there be milk" and Fenugreek. With these 3 things I went from 25 oz to 45 oz a day which is great since I pump to feed and baby eats 25-30 oz daily. I've only had these cookies for a week so I'm curious if it will keep boosting over time of consuming them once a day. Btw they taste pretty good almost like famous amous cookies.
