What Are Lactation Cookies?

Lactation cookies contain ingredients that support breastfeeding. Nursing bodies work overtime to produce breastmilk, so nutrient-dense ingredients such as oats and dates can be helpful in supporting milk production and keeping the body properly nourished.

Can Anyone Eat These Lactation Cookies?

Absolutely! Lactation cookies can be eaten by anyone, even if they’re not breastfeeding.
