What they say: "We make delicious Lactation Cookies to help mothers increase their milk supply naturally. Our cookies are full of mostly organic ingredients and the perfect solution for mums who pump, or who worry about supply issues. They contain oats, flaxseed, brewers yeast and fenugreek, all of which are known to boost milk supplies, but we make them taste nice by adding a cheeky bit of chocolate! They taste great and do work within just a couple of days."

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend this product as these cookies are brilliant. I struggled with breastfeeding and felt my son wasn't getting enough milk. After starting these cookies, I noticed that my milk was coming through more and more white in colour. My son was nursing more and taking less bottles and wasn't becoming frustrated whilst nursing. I sampled the chocolate chip flavour which were delicious and they were easy to pop into my bag and also come in different flavours!
How did this product make your life easier?
As a mum to 2 children it is hard to juggle both my 8 year old and newborn son. These cookies made me feel more at ease that I was producing more milk. I had previously looked online and found recipes for cookies too boost milk production but I could not find the time to make them. These saved me all the hassle. I am glad that I now know about this product! I have already recommended to friends and family.

They do work and also save mums a lot of time. As I struggled with milk production I know what it feels like to become worried and frustrated and these cookies made me feel reassured. It is also great that this is the only company to make and distribute them in the UK. Another bonus is the organic ingredients they include too! I will definitely be ordering some more.
What changes would you make to this product?
I found it really hard to think of something that I would change for the product. The only thing I could think of is possibly to sell them with more cookies per box. As they are sold in boxes of 10, this only lasted abut a week and I felt myself craving more. I will be ordering more than one box so that I have enough.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend these lactation cookies to any other breastfeeding mums who may be struggling with low milk supply. They contain lots of healthy ingredients which have been shown to aid milk supply and therefore could prove very useful if short supply become an issue.
How did this product make your life easier?
As a mum who exclusively breastfeeds my baby, I have found that milk supply can be an issue of huge anxiety, particularly as a first time mother. I have panicked when my baby's needs have changed, for example, during a growth spurt, and she has demanded an increased volume of milk. During these times of transition, it is reassuring to reach for these cookies and know that you are helping to produce enough for your baby.

I am not too aware of many other like products in the market but I had previously looked into recipes for making lactation cookies on my own. This is a little impractical as a busy new mum so these cookies are handy. The list of ingredients is not off putting as it doesn't appear that they are full of unhealthy rubbish!
What changes would you make to this product?
I wouldn't change anything about this product. They taste good and I feel like they did help my milk supply during times of transition for my baby. Just as importantly, I felt like, if nothing else, psychologically, I was helping my baby by trying to aid my milk production to meet her changing needs. The package size is good.
