Breastfeeding is a trend nowadays. There are a lot of
knowledge available for successful breastfeeding. There is also a facebook
group that share experience on breastfeeding by mothers from all walks of life.
This is my second breastfeeding journey and it starts off
easier and smoother. During my first breastfeeding journey, I had tried
various milk booster food but it did not really show any obvious increase in
supply. I saw many mothers taking lactation cookies but I “feel” I don’t need
such to help me.
Then, I realize more and more of my friends are selling
lactation cookies and this makes me curious on how do lactation cookies work. I
come across Twelve Ounces Lactation Cookies but I have doubt in buying and
trying it. Thus, I try my luck to request for trial set.
It is so kind that this beautiful manager offered me whole
set of lactation cookies under Twelve Ounces. I am overjoyed at this privilege for
trying and writing a review about it.
Let me introduce Twelve Ounces before I share my own
experience.
Twelve Ounces Lactation Cookies are home-made with love from
“galactogogue “ which contain natural ingredients to increase milk supply, such as
flax-seeds, rolled oats, habbatus saudha (generally known as black seeds) and
virgin coconut oil. To add on, Twelve Ounces is safe for mothers and baby
having G6PD deficiency. It does not contain nuts, heat-ty herbs and gluten or
dairy foods.
I was given three flavours, namely, less sweet, strawberry
milkshake and chocolate chips.
Less Sweet
Strawberry Milkshake
Chocolate chips – I like this the most
I come to know that there are different ways of taking it
for different categories. I fall under category pump and direct latch. So it is
recommended to take 4-6 pieces 5 hours before pumping session until second jar
is finished followed by 4 pieces alternate days for third and forth jar. I have
tried up to three jars.
In average, I can get 5 oz each session every 3 hours. This supply
is just enough for Evan with additional few packs of milk in freezer. When I finished
2nd jar, my supply increases another 1.5 oz that occasionally I can
get 6.5-7 oz per session. I do hope each session I got such quantity but my
supply is fluctuating from day to day. Hmmm….
On the other hand, when my first period (after 15 months)
came, my supply is maintained and does not drop. I think somehow the cookies
play part of the role in it since I am consuming it within the period. Cheers~
Bear in minds that cookies with so many benefits, the price
is also higher than normal cookies. The normal price is RM39/jar and RM150 for
4 jars (Price may vary, please do check before purchase). There are 15 pieces in a jar.
