How do SLB Lactation Cookies Work?
As a new mother, one of the biggest challenges you may face is ensuring a steady milk supply for your baby. While breastfeeding is a natural process, there are many factors that can affect milk production. This is where lactation cookies come in as a helpful solution for mothers. In this article, we will explore the science behind lactation cookies and how they work to increase milk production.
​
What are Lactation Cookies?
Lactation cookies are baked goods that are specifically designed for breastfeeding mothers. They contain ingredients that are known to boost milk production and provide essential nutrients to the mother. The ingredients used in lactation cookies vary, but some of the most common include fenugreek, brewers yeast, flaxseed, and oats.
​
How Do Lactation Cookies Work?
Lactation cookies work by utilizing the ingredients they contain to increase milk production. The active ingredients in lactation cookies stimulate the production of the hormone prolactin, which is responsible for milk production in the mammary glands.
​
Brewers yeast is one key ingredient commonly found in lactation cookies. This ingredient is rich in B vitamins, which are essential for milk production. Additionally, brewers yeast contains high levels of chromium, which helps regulate insulin levels and can also aid in milk production.
​
Flaxseed is another ingredient that is known to boost milk production. It contains Omega-3 fatty acids and lignans, which have been shown to increase milk production in breastfeeding mothers. Additionally, flaxseed is a rich source of fiber, which can help regulate digestion and prevent constipation, a common issue for breastfeeding mothers.
​
Finally, oats are a staple ingredient in lactation cookies. They are rich in iron, which is essential for a healthy milk supply. Additionally, oats contain beta-glucans, which have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels. This can be beneficial for mothers who experience low milk production due to issues with insulin resistance.

Benefits of Lactation Cookies
In addition to increasing milk production, lactation cookies offer several other benefits for breastfeeding mothers. These include:

FAQ
Will SLB Cookies and Muffins “fix” my struggle with low supply?
Keep in mind that while these ingredients can be beneficial, they are not a guarantee to “fix” low supply. We at SLB strongly believe there is NO substitute for best breastfeeding practices (feeding on demand, correct latching, skin-to-skin). The best way to ensure a strong milk supply is to follow good breastfeeding practices and seek help from a professional lactation consultant.

How long does it take to see the effect?
The SLB Lactation Eating Guide suggests starting with 8-10 lactation cookies daily for optimal results. Some mums may feel fuller breasts or notice more frequent let-downs by the evening, while others might need a few days to see an increase in breast milk supply.
Every body responds differently! Some mothers experience a boost within hours, others within 4-5 days, and a few may take 1-2 weeks.
Once your milk supply stabilises, you can gradually taper down your intake.
