I haven’t tried lactation cookies, but with my first I drank lactation tea. Honestly, I have no idea if it worked or not, but I was willing to try anything!
I used to have them occasionally but I never had an issue with supply so not sure if I can say they helped or not. They are tasty and they are all yours so that’s a win. I made them myself sometimes as well as they are so much cheaper than buying them pre-made
I tried lactation cookies, lactation consultant and on demand feeding as well as pumping in between and none of it worked. Breast feeding is hard and unfortunately doesn’t work for everyone
Woolies Macro brand brewers yeast cookies are good to have on hand. Anything like this is always going to be in addition to so eating well, getting enough rest/sleep (as hard as that is) is what is mostly needed. Don’t be afraid to talk to a lactation consultant (or similar) which is usually via your state’s health care (well in SA it is!)
The most effective way to increase and maintain supply for babies needs is to feed on demand; 24/7, as often and as much as they seek it.
Supply = demand so the more milk you remove the more milk you make.
If you suspect something else might be hindering your supply touch base with an IBCLC, the gold class of lactation support, and check babies latch and positioning etc
In regards to cookies; anyone breastfeeding needs plenty of fluids and food/energy to produce a good milk supply; so keep up the foods & fluids
I recommend making them yourself if you can, there are plenty of delicious recipes online and you can play around with flavour to suit you. As for them working I definitely had a better supply after eating them.
