What are lactation cookies and how do they work?

Franjos Kitchen Mama Biscuits are nutrient-rich lactation cookies made with ingredients traditionally used to support breast milk production, energy and maternal nourishment. They contain natural galactogens such as oats, brewer’s yeast and seeds, which have been used for generations to support milk supply as part of a balanced diet.

When can I start eating Franjos Kitchen Mama Biscuits?

You can begin enjoying our lactation cookies in late pregnancy and continue throughout your breastfeeding journey.

• 34–36 weeks pregnant: Start with 1–2 cookies per day. Many mums find this helpful if they are planning to express colostrum antenatally.
• 36–39 weeks pregnant: Increase to 2–3 cookies daily to nourish your body and prepare for breastfeeding.
• From 39 weeks until birth: Enjoy 2 cookies in one sitting, twice per day, and take it as a moment of self-care.
• First week postpartum: As your milk transitions from colostrum to mature milk (usually around days 3–5), enjoy 2 cookies every 3–4 hours to support milk supply and energy levels.
• First month postpartum: Incorporate cookies regularly as part of your breastfeeding routine to support ongoing milk production.
• Ongoing postpartum: Adjust intake based on your body’s needs. Many mums enjoy 2–3 cookies around three hours before a feed they anticipate may be more challenging, such as afternoon or evening feeds.

How many lactation cookies should I eat per day?
