FAQs
What in the world are lactation cookies?
Lactation cookies contain ingredients called galactagogues like oats, brewers yeast and flaxseed that are historically known to increase breastmilk supply.
What galactagogues are included in Made to Milk lactation cookies?
Oats - Possesses amazing health properties in addition to being a super galactagogue. They are high in fibre, B vitamins, manganese, phosphorous and magnesium, they are seen as a ‘nourishing’ grain and also a ‘carminative’ in the herbal world. Studies have also shown that oats assist in appetite control (they are a low glycaemic whole grain and help keep you fuller for longer) and weight loss/maintenance. They contain natural phytochemicals (plant chemicals) that improve the immune system defences, they may reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes, lower blood pressure and help to lower cholesterol.
Brewer's Yeast - A good source of iron, chromium and selenium, brewer's yeast also contains several B vitamins, though not B-12. Brewer's yeast has a history of use as a galactagogue.
Flaxseed - High in omega-3 and dietary fibre. It contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and potassium.

When should I start?
Although our goodies are completely safe to consume any time during your pregnancy, we usually recommend starting consistently from around 35-36 weeks. This is especially the case if you are planning on expressing colostrum before your baby arrives.
How many should I eat?
Most mums find that 1-2 cookies a day is all they need! Every mama's body is different so if you need to adjust from this amount per day - go right ahead! You might even find yourself sneaking a couple extra cookies anyway...just because they taste SO DAMN GOOD!
How long can I store Made to Milk cookies and packet mixes?
Made to Milk cookies are each individually heat sealed to maintain maximum freshness and have a shelf life of six months from their bake date. We bake our cookies fresh every week so you can be guaranteed to receive the freshest batch possible!
Made to Milk Deluxe Cookie Packet Mixes are also heat sealed and have a shelf life of at least nine months. Once baked, the cookies can then be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 3 months.
Our Deluxe Hot Drink range have 18-24 months shelf life so they are perfect to pop in the pantry for back up!
