FAQs
What are lactation cookies and brownies?
They're snacks made with natural ingredients that mums have traditionally used to support breast milk supply. Instead of boiling fenugreek, making papaya soup or eating a big bowl of leafy greens every day, you can just grab a cookie and a brownie with a glass of water.
What's inside?
Cookies: rolled oats, flaxseed, malt, brewer's yeast and wheat germ.
Brownies: dates, alfalfa, torbangun, moringa and fenugreek.
Everything is baked in small batches in our Puchong bakehouse. No preservatives, no hydrogenated oils, nothing you can't pronounce. We even wash the eggs before cracking them!
What's special about torbangun?
Torbangun (daun bangun-bangun) is a leaf that Batak mums in North Sumatra have eaten as soup after giving birth for generations. In a 2006 clinical nutrition study, mums who ate torbangun daily had about a third more milk after two weeks. We're the only lactation brand in Malaysia that bakes it in, and it's in every box of our Superfood Brownies.
Cookies or brownies: which works better?
They use completely different ingredients, and every body responds differently. Some mums find the cookies work best, some swear by the brownies, and many find the two together work wonders. Honestly, a few mums don't notice a change at all, and we won't pretend otherwise. If you're not sure, start with one box of cookies and one box of brownies. If you've tried other milk boosters without luck, give the brownies a go for the torbangun.
How many should I eat a day?
1 cookie + 1 brownie in the morning, and 1 cookie + 1 brownie in the afternoon or evening, each with a big glass of water. Keep it up for at least 3 days in a row. Keep feeding or pumping as usual, and if your supply stays low, please talk to a lactation consultant or your doctor.
Can I eat them while pregnant?
The brownies are for after you give birth only, because of the herbs in them. For the cookies, please check with your doctor first.
Is there anyone who shouldn't eat the brownies?
Because of herbs like alfalfa and fenugreek, please check with your doctor first if you have blood sugar, thyroid or autoimmune issues, or if your baby is premature, in NICU or has G6PD. The brownies are not suitable for children under 2.
Can my husband and kids eat them too?
The cookies, yes! They make a filling, high-fibre snack for the whole family.
Are they halal?
Every ingredient we use comes from halal sources. Our bakehouse is not JAKIM certified yet.
How long do they last?
Cookies last 6 months and brownies 1 month from the bake date. Our shelf life is short because we only use natural ingredients. Keep them in a cool, dry place, and keep the brownies in the fridge.
Are they very sweet?
Not really. Mums often tell us they're less sweet than regular cookies, so they're easy to enjoy every day.

- Monday to Friday: baked and posted the same day.
