Lactation Cookies and Biscuits
- A Healthier Alternative for Breastfeeding Mums -
Looking for a healthier alternative to lactation cookies?
While lactation cookies are a popular choice for breastfeeding mums, many are high in sugar and low in protein - which means they may not keep you feeling full or satisfied for long, and can leave you reaching for more.
Our Breastfeeding Boost Bars are a higher protein, lower sugar lactation snack designed to support your breastfeeding journey, while helping you feel fuller for longer, maintain steady energy and stay on track with your health and weight goals.
Why Busy Breastfeeding Mums Look for Lactation Cookies
Busy breastfeeding mums often look for lactation cookies to support their milk supply while managing the demands of caring for a newborn.
These snacks are popular because they’re:
-
quick and convenient
-
easy to grab between feeds
-
something sweet during a busy and often overwhelming time
Are Lactation Cookies the Best Snack for Breastfeeding Mums?
While lactation cookies are widely used, they are not always designed to support your overall nutrition or long-term health goals.
Many breastfeeding mums turn to lactation cookies because they’re a quick and convenient snack during a busy and demanding stage of life.
However, while they’re convenient, they’re not always designed to support your broader goals - like feeling healthier, maintaining steady energy, or gradually getting your body back after having your baby.
They are typically low in protein and high in sugar, which plays a key role in how full and energised you feel after eating.
This can mean they:
-
don’t keep you feeling full for long
-
lead to ongoing snacking throughout the day
-
contribute to less stable energy levels
If you're relying on snacks daily while breastfeeding, choosing a more balanced option can make a meaningful difference to how you feel day to day.
That’s where our Breastfeeding Boost Bars come in - a quick, easy and more balanced snack designed for busy breastfeeding mums.

The result is a more nourishing snack designed specifically to support breastfeeding.
