HOW MANY COOKIES WILL I NEED TO EAT TO SEE AN IMPACT?
A lot of factors go into this! Every mama is different, but most mamas will see an impact in as little as 1-2 cookies for 1-2 days; some see results after their first cookie.
Though Milkin' Cookie are a wonderful addition to promote healthy breastfeeding supply, we highly encourage our mamas to follow other milk-promoting behaviors such as;
Increase frequency of breastfeeding/pumping sessions
Try "power pumping"

HOW MANY COOKIES DO I NEED TO EAT ON A DAILY BASIS?
The number of cookies that need to be consumed again is determined on a personal level. The majority of our mamas eat one cookie per day. Moms of multiples will have to increase cookie consumption accordingly - one of our current mamas' of multiples eats 2-3 per day. Keep in mind - you don’t have the eat the same amount each day... some days you could have 1/2 a cookie, other days you could have 2 cookies.
HOW LONG DO MILKIN' COOKIES STAY FRESH FOR?
Cookies are said to have a 10-14 day shelf life - but don't let that worry you, they are perfect to be popped in the freezer!
WHEN SHOULD I EAT MY MILKIN’ COOKIE TO SEE THE BIGGEST IMPACT?
We recommend picking a time of the day where you’d like to see an increase 3-5 hours later. If you were looking for more production around 9a, we recommend a cookie for an early breakfast around 5a. If you were looking for a greater supply before bed time at 10p, we recommend a cookie for a mini after-dinner desert at 6p. It takes a little bit of trial and error to figure out what time works best for you!
