Wondering How Many Lactation Cookies to Take?

It is a good idea to start with a maximum of 2 to 3 serves so you can see what impact they have on your breast milk production, as well as monitor for any side effects.

Do Lactation Cookies Really Work?

Yes! Lactation Cookies can work for mums who want to support their milk supply. They contain ingredients that boost prolactin, the breastfeeding hormone, and therefore help support your milk supply. It is always best to check with a lactation consultant if you are concerned about your breast milk supply to identify any issues.

How Long Do Lactation Cookies Take To Work?

The brewers yeast and other galactagogues typically take between 24 and 72 hours to take full effect. We recommend starting with 1 to 3 serves per day and then increase or decrease depending on whether your breast milk production has increased, and how you and baby feel.

Can I Eat Too Many Lactation Cookies?

It is good to start with a maximum of just 2 to 3 lactation cookies per day to see what the impact is on your milk supply. While most people won't experience any side effects, some mums and bubs may be more sensitive to the ingredients such as brewers yeast in the lactation cookies recipe. If you notice feeling bloated or gassy for example, then you are taking too much brewers yeast for your system.

Will Lactation Cookies Increase Breast Size?

No, lactation cookies will not increase your breast size. The ingredients in lactation cookies are galactagogues which means that they support your body in increasing milk supply. Many of them work by increasing the prolactin hormone in your body, which in turn increases milk production. An increase milk supply may cause your breasts to feel 'fuller', however they do not increase your breast size.
