Calm Before The Baby

"Prepare for breastfeeding success with our nutrient-rich lactation cookies, designed to support mamas during the final stages of pregnancy and through their breastfeeding journey.

When can I start eating Franjos Kitchen Mama Biscuits?
* 34-36 weeks pregnant: Start with 1-2 of our nourishing lactation cookies per day, especially beneficial for those planning to express colostrum antenatally.
* 36-39 weeks pregnant: Increase your intake to 2-3 lactation cookies daily to further support your milk supply and load you up with goodness.
* From 39 weeks to birth: Enjoy 2 cookies in one sitting, twice per day (and take it as a moment of self-care in your day!)
* First week postpartum: For the first 3 or so days, your body will be producing liquid gold - colostrum. Colostrum is full of antibodies, vitamins and minerals and is incredibly important. Generally, your milk will ‘come in’ around day 3-5. To nourish your body with galactogens (ingredients that have promoted and supported milk supply for decades), eat 2 cookies every 3-4 hours. They are the perfect one-handed snack for breastfeeding!
* First month postpartum: As you work on establishing breastfeeding, it's important to feed every 3-4 hours (or every 15 minutes if they are like our babies!). Incorporate our lactation cookies into your routine to support your milk supply naturally.
* Ongoing postpartum needs: Tailor your intake based on your body's signals. For a boost before what you anticipate as a ""lower"" supply feeding, enjoy 2-3 biscuits 3 hours in advance. Many mums find this especially helpful for enhancing the afternoon feeding session.

How many should I eat:
2 biscuits = 1 serve
Perfect for mid-morning or afternoon snacks, and essential during night feeds in the early weeks postpartum. Keep a box by your breastfeeding chair for a nutritious nibble as you nurse.

We recommend starting with one cup per day from 32 weeks, increasing gradually as advised by your care provider:

Week 32–34: 1 cup daily

Week 35–36: 2 cups daily

Week 37–40: 2–3 cups daily

Continue after birth to support recovery.
Every pregnancy is different. Always check with your healthcare provider before use.

*Refrain from commencing this delicious blend until 32 weeks gestation. Every pregnancy journey is unique, chat with your healthcare provider before sipping.

How long do your products last?
Our cookies are all-natural and preservative-free. For the best taste and freshness, seal them tightly and enjoy within 4-6 weeks of opening. Our hydration powders stay fresh longer when sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.

Does your vanilla extract contain alcohol?
No, our lactation cookies and muesli that have the deliciousness of vanilla do not contain alcohol.

Do women's health professionals recommend Franjos Kitchen?
Yes, there’s a reason Franjos Kitchen is Australia’s number one lactation cookie and motherhood hydration brand. Our range come highly recommended by a network of health experts, including midwives, lactation consultants, women's health dietitians, obstetricians and naturopaths. Many health professionals nation wide provide our products to their patients during fertility treatments, pregnancy and postpartum, which to us, is the best feedback we can get!
