Breastfeeding is a natural and beautiful way to provide the best nutrition to your baby, promote bonding and greatly help in postpartum recovery. But breastfeeding comes with its own challenges - the most common being adequate milk supply. Hence, most mothers look to lactation cookies to complement their nutritional diet.

Lactation cookies are a delicious and convenient way to boost milk production. Packed with galactagogues, these cookies proved to help increase lactation in nursing mothers. Not only are they effective, but they also make for a yummy snack that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. Galactagogues are substances that naturally promote breast milk products, such as oats, brewer's yeast, and flaxseed. These ingredients increase prolactin levels in the body, which is the hormone responsible for milk production.
