Frequently Asked Questions
What are lactation cookies?
Lactation cookies contain ingredients called galactagogues — like oats, brewer’s yeast and flaxseed — that are traditionally known to help increase breastmilk supply.
What galactagogues are included in Lactation Love cookies?
Oats – A nourishing, high-fibre grain packed with B vitamins, manganese, and magnesium. Known to support milk supply and keep you fuller for longer.
Brewer’s Yeast – A natural galactagogue, rich in iron, selenium, and B vitamins.
Flaxseed – High in omega-3 and fibre, with added benefits like calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
Do lactation cookies really work?
Every mum is different - many feel a boost within 1–2 days, others need more time. Consistency is key. Remember: hydration, frequent feeding, and rest are just as important. The cookies are here to support you, not replace the fundamentals.
When should I start eating them?
Our cookies are safe to enjoy during pregnancy, but we recommend starting from around 35–36 weeks, especially if you’re planning to express colostrum before baby arrives.
How many should I eat?
Most mums start with 1–2 cookies a day. You can adjust as needed - and honestly, you might sneak extras just because they taste that good.
How long do they stay fresh?
Our cookies are baked fresh and individually heat-sealed. They’ll stay fresh for around 3 weeks at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze them on arrival and enjoy within 3 months.
Can I freeze them?
Absolutely. Freeze them in their original packaging and thaw at room temp or warm in the microwave for that fresh-baked feel.
Are they safe to eat if I’m pregnant or not breastfeeding?
Yes! All ingredients are safe during pregnancy. Non-breastfeeding friends, partners, and cookie thieves are welcome too — they’re nutrient-dense and safe for anyone to enjoy.
Are your cookies dairy, soy, or egg free?
Some of our dairy-free cookies are free from dairy, but not all are soy free. Please check individual product listings for a full list of ingredients and allergen information. If you have specific dietary needs, feel free to email us at info@lactationlove.com.au — we're happy to help you find the best option.
How should I eat them?
They’re perfect straight from the pack - but warming in the microwave for 10 seconds makes them extra indulgent. Trust us.
