what moms are saying
“Tasty and effective! Milkmakers helped boost my milk supply for pumping when I went back to work. After 6 months of exclusively breastfeeding, it became a point of pride that my son had never had a drop of formula…much thanks to Milkmakers!!”
Commenter on dailycandy.com
“I ordered Milkmakers for my wife. They tasted incredible and it really helped her milk supply.”

“They were so delicious that I actually called my husband and told him how good they were. They ranked along the line with some of the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I have tried.”
Ericka Bodwell, Blogger
“My supply went up after eating them and they are really good. I pump two times a day at work and when I started eating the cookies, I was able to get an additional four ounces or so out.”
commenter from community.babycenter.com
“Milkmakers make a welcome and generous gift for nursing moms. They do just what they say they will do – MAKE MILK! And they are beyond delicious.”
Francesca, commenter on dailycandy.com
“With all the other options out there to increase a mom’s breast milk, this, by far, is the tastiest.”
Kate, 4/30/2010
“My newborn’s pediatrician was concerned she wasn’t gaining enough weight a day after we left the hospital. I ate two Milkmakers cookies and she gained 3 ounces overnight! The next day at her appointment, the pediatrician was happy with the weight-gain and quit recommending supplementation!”
-Lauren Lafargue Makar, Saint Robert, Missouri, 1/16/2011
The recipe, based on a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie, yields a yummy, slightly oversized cookie with near perfect texture. The wholesome flavor is not too sweet, but just sweet enough to feel like a treat.

Key ingredients in Milkmakers cookies incude oats, brewer’s yeast and flax seed. Oats are eaten by nursing moms worldwide to boost breast milk supply and are a nutritional powerhouse, providing plenty of whole grains, fiber, iron, and an abundance of healthy vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Brewer’s yeast is a traditional herbal remedy used to stimulate and increase the production of breast milk and is a rich source of the B-vitamins and amino acids essential for nursing moms and their babies. Flax seed provides an abundance of omega-3 fatty acids, necessary for brain development, which can be passed from mother to baby through breast milk. These ingredients work together to make Milkmakers a wholesome, beneficial treat for breastfeeding moms.
If you’re in need of a breast milk boost, try eating one to two delicious lactation cookies every day. While every woman’s body is different, most moms notice an increase in their milk supply after a few days. Milkmakers also recommends seeking help from a lactation consultant.
What varieties do Milkmakers come in?
Milkmakers are available as an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and an oatmeal raisin dairy free cookie. We also have dairy free lactation cookie mixes in oatmeal chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin, which can be ordered gluten free. We are always experimenting with new recipes and varieties. Do you have an idea for a new flavor for Milkmakers? Please contact us and let us know what you’d like!
What do Milkmakers taste like?
Besides delicious? The decadent oatmeal chocolate chip cookie is chock-full of semi-sweet chocolate chunks and crunchy oatmeal. And the chewy, oatmeal raisin dairy free cookie is full of plump raisins and the spicy goodness of cinnamon and clove.
Milkmakers offers a dairy free oatmeal raisin cookie because some people need to follow a dairy free diet. By offering a dairy free cookie, nursing moms who have to follow a dairy free diet can still enjoy all the benefits offered by Milkmakers cookies.
My cookies arrived as crumbs, what should I do?
We are shipping a fragile, preservative-free product all over the country. Even though we take great measures to ensure that your cookies arrive in one piece, things happen in transit that are out of our control. Please contact us immediately with any quality issues and we will replace your cookies with a new order immediately.
Should I start eating Milkmakers cookies when I am pregnant?
Until you have your baby, Milkmakers cookies are just a great cookie (delicious & nutritious) for anyone. They make a great post-labor recovery snack, and many moms have them in hand close to their delivery date. The cookies won’t help with milk production until you are lactating.
What does regular shipping mean?

What if I entered the wrong shipping address on my order?
It is very important to make sure that you have entered in the correct shipping address when placing your order. Unfortunately, we will not be able to re-ship orders free of charge due to incorrect address entered by customer. We want our customers to get their cookies ASAP, and orders are processed every 24 hours. So depending on when your order was placed, it could be on its way immediately. If you have entered an incorrect address, please call and email us immediately. If we can catch it before it ships, we will gladly make the correction.

How do I keep my month supply of Milkmakers fresh?
Milkmakers cookies come in stay-fresh bags (10-packs are resealable). For long-term storage, keep your cookies in the freezer. They will soften up after just a few minutes. Eat them frozen for a cool treat or let them sit for a few minutes to soften up (or warm them for about 20 seconds in the microwave).
For multiple month subscriptions, when will my cookies ship?
The first order will be shipped immediately. After that, a month’s supply of cookies will be shipped to you every month until the subscription is cancelled. For example, if you order on January 5th, your first month will go out within 24 hours and the next order would ship on February 5th. That way, the cookies arrive fresh each month and you never run out of Milkmakers!
