As a breastfeeding mom, ensuring you have an ample milk supply is a top priority. While there are many methods to increase lactation, one delicious and convenient option is lactation cookies. But how exactly do these tasty treats work to boost milk production? And what sets Milk & Bloom's lactation cookies apart in Australia? Let's explore.

The Science Behind Lactation Cookies

Lactation cookies typically contain specific ingredients called galactagogues, which are believed to stimulate milk production. According to a review published in the Journal of Pharmacy & Bioallied Sciences, galactagogues can be an effective complementary treatment for increasing breastmilk supply. At Milk & Bloom, we focus on incorporating the most effective, nutrient-dense galactagogues in our recipes:

• Brewer's Yeast: Rich in B vitamins, protein, and minerals like iron, selenium and chromium, brewer's yeast supports overall health and may boost energy levels, aiding in milk supply. 
• Oats: A comforting, nourishing ingredient, oats are thought to increase the breastfeeding hormone prolactin due to their unique saponin content. Oats are also an excellent source of fiber, complex carbs, and vitamins. 
• Flaxseed: High in omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and fiber, flaxseed provides essential nutrients for postpartum recovery and lactation. The phytoestrogens in flax may also help with milk production.
