Mommy Knows Best Lactation Cookies Mix - Oatmeal Breastfeeding Cookie Supplement Support for Breast Milk Supply Increase with Flax Seed and Brewers Yeast (Chocolate Chip) 15oz

Bottom line: my milk came back, it was delicious, and I would definitely buy again! My story: My baby girl was about 6 weeks when I got a stomach bug which caused the runs and loss of appetite AND I caught a pretty bad cough from a winter draft coming from my bedroom window. Not only did I unknowingly make the mistake of using peppermint cough drops (peppermint dries your milk supply), I wasn’t getting the nutrition I needed nor enough liquids. My milk supply was pretty much gone! My poor daughter sucked and sucked and took as much as she could get. Eventually I had to give her formula which she didn’t take to very well. I saw an ad for another lactation cookie brand with amazing reviews but it was just a bit expensive.. but I figured, anything is worth being able to feed my baby. So I was just about to buy it, I found this brand on amazon. Good reviews about the taste but nothing much on its effectiveness. But it was cheaper and it had key ingredients, so I ordered it and it came the next day! The packaging was cute, easy to make even without fancy kitchen gadgets, and OMG they’re so yummy!! I got the salted caramel because I love that flavor period. It did have that dry texture but it wasn’t really dry. But it did make me thirsty (which was even better because it made me drink more). It was nice, soft, and chewy. My milk came back within 24 hours. Within 3 days, I could really keep up with my daughters appetite. I ate 2-4 cookies each day (it was hard to stop at 4 tbh, and I’m not a cookie person). It’s day 4 now. I have 6 cookies left :( But my milk supply is back to normal and my baby is gaining again! I’m cheap, so if I can’t keep my supply up after I finish my cookies, I’ll buy again. But if I was buying again based solely off of taste and effectiveness, I’d subscribe right away! Keep em coming! If there was one thing I think could be better is directions on how best to keep the cookies. I put them ina zip lock bag.. but if there’s a specific way to keep them (or not) maybe it should be printed on the packaging too. Thank you!

Oh my gosh, these cookies are mouthwatering. I couldn’t stop eating them. I’m unsure if they actually helped increase my supply but they were a nice delicious snack while breastfeeding. Once cooked they’re thick, and have the perfect texture, has a hint of cinnamon and it pairs perfectly with the oats and chocolate chips.

These are delicious. I just made them today, so I can't speak to effectiveness, but they're simple and taste great.

Many reviews for these cookies mentioned they were a bit dry with the given recipe so I read up on different ways to make your cookies softer in texture. One option was to add more butter or egg yolks to yield a softer and richer cookie. Another suggestion was to cook at a higher temperature for a shorter time frame. This is what I ended up doing with my oatmeal chocolate chip mix: 1) Preheated oven to 375°F (slightly hotter than the original recipe). 2) Mix together 1 stick of soften (room temp) butter with 1 XL egg + 2 egg yolks. 3) After the butter and eggs are mixed together (the mixture will be chunky from the butter chunks), I added the cookie mix and used a whisk to cut and mix the dry into wet ingredients. ***Tip: If you have a dough/pastry blender or stand mixer, this step would be easier since the mixture is very sticky at this point (due to the extra egg yolks).*** 4) Use some gloves or a large spoon (or ice cream scooper) to portion out the batter. I kept the cookies in a round ball and baked 6 cookies to my tray with a silicone mat.. parchment paper would work too. I am using my Ninja convection oven/air fryer to bake these cookies in a smaller batch and freezing the second half for later. 5) Bake for about 12-15mins on the middle rack. Check your cookies around the 10mins mark just in case your oven cooks them hotter. Your cookies are done when the edges are brown and crispy while your middle is firm but still soft to the touch. 6) Your cookies will need to cool to room temp before storage or consumption so your cookies will continue to cook a bit on the hot pan. 7) Remove and enjoy after it's cooled! (I stored the extra cookies in a ziplock bag and in the fridge.) My cookies were about 3.5in diameter and the mixture made about 12 cookies at that size. I have been eating about 2 per day and it's the 4th day now. I am seeing some slight increase to milk production when I pumping at about every 8hrs. I'm hoping it will continue to help increase the flow since my 3month old is going through a growth spurt. The only cons of this cookie mixture are that I wish there was more for the cost and more chocolate chips. You also need to adjust the recipe to your liking and your specific oven quirks. Regardless, good luck ladies and I hope this review helps!

Super delicious but got hard the next day. Probably from the butterscotch but had to throw it out

It's excellent and it works.. I noticed the difference in the next day. So far, it's been 5 days and I have pumped more milk in these last 5 days than I have in the last 6 weeks. This product truly does work. Its 2 weeks later, and I have to come back and update my post with pictures. Truly, these brownies are too amazing. I used to only get 1oz per bottle. Now, I am getting between 3-5oz per bottle from each breast. I highly recommend these brownie. They work right away. See you improvements between 12 - 36 hrs.

No idea if they really work - but I felt like they did. It also never hurts to eat a cookie. Overall, easy to make, good texture, and had a great taste. None of that odd GF after taste. Bought a few times to make for my new mom friends.

The butterscotch cookies were terrible compared to the oatmeal raisin cookies. I also had issues getting the free bag of cookies being advertised. Reached out to their customer service who was non responsive for weeks and when they finally followed up they were useless. They indicated that I hadn’t checked out properly and made no effort to help resolve the issue, despite that I had added the cookies to my cart initially but it didn’t change the price so I removed it. Then, of course, I tried to return the cookies I have left and it won’t let me. Do not purchase these cookies! I have kept a meticulous record of when I pump and what the output is (since I gave birth which includes time before and after trying the cookies) and these have not made a difference at all. I had two bags of cookies and there was no difference when eating them or when I stopped eating them (others mentioned supply plummeting after stopping but that was not the case for me). Overall, really disappointed with the cookies themselves as well as their customer service.
