Question 1

Will SLB Cookies and Granola “fix” my struggle with low supply?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How can SLB Cookies and Granola help me as a breastfeeding mummy?

Accepted Answer

SLB lactation bakes are designed to be a convenient and nutritious option for breastfeeding mothers who have busy lifestyles. With a high concentration of brewer’s yeast, which is rich in B vitamins and trace minerals, these lactation cookies and muffins can help support lactating mothers with postpartum depression, improved immunity, and better hair, skin, and nail health. These lactation treats can also provide extra calories needed for breastfeeding and can be particularly helpful during times when mothers may need a boost due to work, stress, growth spurts, exhaustion, illness, and travel.

Question 3

When is the best to take lactation cookies?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to start eating SLB lactation cookies and muffins as soon as you have delivered, especially for mummies who have purchased them prior to delivery. Many mummies packed our lactation cookies into the delivery bag so that they can start enjoying the bakes asap.  It is important to remember that latching and skin-to-skin with the baby should be given priority before starting to consume the lactation bakes. Additionally, an e-guide is provided to help integrate the lactation bakes into your routine after delivery (be sure to scan the QR code behind the packaging to access to our eguide).

Question 4

How long does it take to see the effect?

Accepted Answer

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.
​
SLB’s cookies are carefully crafted to support many mothers in boosting their milk supply, while also providing great taste and nutrition. Remember, each mum’s experience with lactation bakes varies, so it’s important to find what works best for you.

Question 5

Can a man enjoy lactation bakes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, lactation bakes are made with wholesome ingredients and can be enjoyed by anyone, including men . While the primary target audience for lactation bakes is breastfeeding mothers, anyone can benefit from the energy boost and nutritious ingredients found in these snacks.

Question 6

Can I share my lactation yummies with my toddler?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Your little snack monsters will thank you for it, and so will their growing bodies and brains. Better pack enough for everyone at the playdate. Our stash is always mysteriously “disappearing.”

Question 7

Accepted Answer
