Do your products work for pregnant women?
Technically you can only boost your milk supply once your milk has had a chance to come in, This happens after baby has been born. Some mothers choose to take our products towards the end of their pregnancy and noticed an increase in colostrum. That is useful if you are expressing colostrum. If you choose to take our product during pregnancy, we recommend only 1-2 serves until bub is born.
Although all of our premixes, cookies and shakes are pregnancy safe we think it is a great idea to talk to your Doctor/Midwife/OB to see if it safe for you during this time.
How many Cookies should a breastfeeding mum eat?
Everyone’s body reacts differently as some have noticed a huge difference with 1 cookie and others may require 1-3.
We recommend that you have 1-4 serves of our products per day to once baby is born and to either increase or decrease these amounts depending on their needs.
If you are collecting colostrum you just need to be careful as some of the teas you cannot have while pregnant.
When can I start using your products?
You can start using these products as of 35 weeks. If you are wanting to collect colostrum eating the cookies or drinking the shake/ Teas will help you collect a good amount of colostrum before you have baby.
