Meet Milk and bloom
Milk and Bloom is an Australian bakery making freshly baked lactation cookies and brownies for breastfeeding mothers. Most lactation snacks are small, shelf stable and built to survive months in a warehouse, so they taste like it.
We took the opposite approach. Every order is baked by hand in Sydney on the morning it goes out the door, which means we do not need preservatives and mothers get something that tastes like it came from a bakery rather than a supplement aisle.

MUM CENTRAL
Who said breastfeeding support had to taste like a sad health food snack? Milk and Bloom makes fresh lactation cookies and brownies that feel like a proper treat, because mums deserve more than another boring “good for you” food.
NOURISHY
At the end of the day, Milk and Bloom exists to ease pressure, not add to it. We’re not here to tell you what you should be doing or how you should be feeding. We’re here to offer gentle nourishment and a moment of care when everything feels overwhelming.
Sleepybelly
Many mums find that feeding/ lactation cookies are a great way to help with milk supply naturally. Keeping a pack from Milk and Bloom at your feeding station ensures you’re staying nourished while supporting your breastfeeding journey.
ONE FINE BABY
Milk and Bloom makes lactation cookies feel less like a functional breastfeeding snack and more like the kind of bakery treat you would genuinely look forward to eating. These are soft cookies designed for feeding sessions, pumping breaks.
Meet the Founder
Tanya, Founder, Milk and Bloom
Tanya started Milk and Bloom in her Sydney kitchen in 2024, after her own postpartum experience and after watching a close friend struggle to find a lactation snack worth eating. Two years on, it is a small batch bakery shipping Australia wide, built on the rule she set with the first order: bake it fresh that morning and make it good enough that a mother eats it because she wants to.
She still develops every recipe herself. Tanya is available for interview on postpartum nutrition, breastfeeding support in Australia, and building a food business around a newborn.
