    Why weeLove Milkflow Lactation Cookies:

    In case you need a valid excuse to eat cookies, here’s a really good one: boosting milk supply. Nursing moms need to fuel their bodies to keep up with the demands of milk production and new parenthood. (If you’ve been wearing the same pants for three days—we get it, girl!) While lactation teas, capsules and powders aren’t for everybody, cookies most certainly are.

    Milkflow™ from UpSpring created the first ever lactation cookies made with the dream team of ingredients: Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle. These two essentials work together to help naturally promote breast milk supply in those early days, during your baby’s growth spurts (when you’re glued to the glider for feedings!), and pumping sessions.

    Available in Oatmeal Raisin and Double Chocolate Chip, cookies are non-GMO and made in the USA with all natural ingredients. These tasty treats come in packs of two—perfect for tossing in your diaper bag for a healthy snack on the go. Each box comes with 10 packs (20 cookies total), so you’ll be able to keep your milk production going strong while keeping “Hangry Mom Running Errands” at bay. It’s a win-win.

    • Manhattan, Kansas

    My preemie required the use of a nipple shield to help latch. We were able to discontinue the use, but our breastfeeding success started here! Nov 19, 2019

  • A must have for bre breastfeeding moms and babies with latch issues. Sep 06, 2019

  • When my daughter wouldn’t latch this was my go to! It helped tremendously. Also! Fun hack! Use when pumping for relief from nipple pain! Aug 22, 2019

    • Myra S.

    • King City, California

    It was uncomfortable on me and I was able to notice my baby didn’t like it when I tried using it with him as a newborn. Aug 20, 2019

  • This product saved me and my LO’s breastfeeding experience! My LO has a hard time latching because my nipple doesn’t go out far enough for her. She latches immediately to this and stays latched! May 18, 2019

  • I had to use this for the first few weeks of nursing due to pain from a bad latch and it worked great! This product didnt cause nipple confusion and allowed my baby to get milk out May 04, 2019

  • We had to pump and bottle feed, after that we struggled to convert back from bottle to breast This was suggested to us to help with the transition. It wouldn't stick, constantly fell off. Apr 26, 2019

  • The lactation specialists ask you not to use these and I understand why. However, they really helped with protection/feeding in the first few days. Apr 23, 2019

  • Ok so having to use a shield is not ideal but it helped me nurse while LO was in the nicu for a couple nights and a couple weeks home from the hospital before weaning off of it. Helped a ton! Mar 28, 2019

  • Lifesaver for me when I first gave birth to my son, and was having latch issues that were resulting in cracked nipples. Mar 20, 2019

  • The only nipple shield that my baby would actually latch onto. Gave good transfer of milk, and had a great shape for baby. Perfect size and healed cracked nipples without any creams or meds. Mar 11, 2019

    • Liz S.

    • Monticello, Indiana

    I needed this with all 3 of my kids. These helped me number my children for over 5 years combined. Without this, I wouldn’t be able to have a successful nursing releationship with my children. Feb 08, 2019

  • This helped my baby to lach properly so I am not in pain during the feeding. Feb 03, 2019

  • This nipple shield saved my breastfeeding relationship with my son. I had very flat nipples and a jaundiced baby who we could not rouse long enough to get a good latch until my LC gave me this shield. Jan 06, 2019

  • Didn’t come in a larger size so I was in pain after using it Oct 14, 2018

  • Saved my nursing experience with my second. After nipple confusion this worked wonderfully to get her to latch again. Was difficult to wean off of, but worth it! Aug 05, 2018

  • Didnt do much except frustrate me and my baby. Hard to keep on, but does the job. Jul 07, 2018

  • I don't think I would have continued breastfeeding if I wasn't introduced to a shield. This Shield was the only break my nipples had in the early days when they were sensitive and bleeding. May 13, 2018

  • I have a pretty intense letdown on one breast and my daughter was pulling off during nursing. This was a lifesaver for us both! May 08, 2018

  • This helped me be able to breastfeed my newborn and now we no longer need it. It’s very soft and washes easily Apr 30, 2018

    • Aqsa A.

    • Knoxville, Tennessee

    I tried this because my flow was way too fast for my little one, so my pediatrician recommended a shield. I can understand its many purposes but my baby didn’t like it one bit. Apr 18, 2018

  • It did not work for me and my baby. Nipple part of the shield was too big. And it was taking too long to get milk output that baby would get frustrated before the flow is established. Apr 15, 2018

  • I was given this in the hospital when I had my baby. I didn’t like it at all. It didn’t help my baby latch any better. It made it kind of worse, she did better without this. Apr 06, 2018

  • They work but they don't stay on very well, even using lanolin. Mar 12, 2018

    • Allie B.

    • Swedesboro, New Jersey

    My daughter would only nurse with these. It didn't affect my supply at all, in fact I was able to pump close to 20oz per day and feed her mornings & nights with the shield. Had one in every bag! Mar 10, 2018

  • This is the only thing that got me through breastfeeding. My baby wouldn't be able to without it. Does also protect and reduces discomfort. Mar 05, 2018

    • Nina M.

    • Jacksonville, Florida

    DD has a lip tie. Dr recommended/DH bought. I wasn't impressed. It constantly fell off or curled back over DD face & still couldn't latch properly. I ended up just toughing it out even with a blowout! Mar 02, 2018

  • Works as it should for as long as it's needed. Mar 02, 2018

  • Saved our breastfeeding journey! This shield is easy to use and easy to clean. I have one in my bra 24/7. I thought that I would lose a lot of them but I’ve only lost one in four months. Feb 24, 2018

    • Talor S.

    • Shelby Township, Michigan

    This was a lifesaver for me and my daughter while we were starting with breastfeeding! I wish they came with a case like they do now, I was always losing them, especially during those late nights! Feb 20, 2018

    • Jarina D.

    • King of Prussia, Pennsylvania

    Got these in the hospital and they were a lifesaver. Made breastfeeding so much easier and more effective. Saved my nipples from being cracked and dry. Feb 14, 2018

  • Got one of these in the hospital since little one had a tongue and upper lip tie. Works great to help baby latch on at first, but can slow milk production if you use it too long. Feb 14, 2018

  • Used this in the hospital and for first few weeks. What a pain. With second baby I will just work on latching earlier without the shield. Feb 07, 2018

    • Allie P.

    • United States of America

    The only thing that made breastfeeding possible! My baby never got a good latch until I started to use this. It is easy to clean but it is also easy to lose as it is clear. Jan 27, 2018

  • Great product if you have extreme nipple sensitivity. It is also helpful if you have any lesions/scabs/bites from baby. The shield protects your nipple while you are still able to feed baby. Dec 28, 2017

    • Shay V.

    • Long Valley, New Jersey

    I have been using this since my baby was 1 week old. She is now 6 months and I don't think I would've continued breastfeeding her if it weren't for this shield. She was having trouble latching. Dec 24, 2017

  • This worked great when I first started pumping and my nipples were sore. It gave my nipples a break and let them heal. Dec 12, 2017

  • this really helped me breastfeed and i know alot of other moms it helped Nov 21, 2017

    • Adina C.

    • Conway, South Carolina

    This item really helped when my nipples needed a break and to heal. Just make sure you get the right size Nov 19, 2017

  • I tried several types of nipple shields and the Medela ContactTM Nipple shield was by far the most comfortable, stayed in place, and easiest to use. Nov 08, 2017

  • I started to use these while breastfeeding when my nipples were sore but it so much harder for my little one to get milk so I stopped. Nov 06, 2017

  • A nipple shield can solve inversion, latch, and soreness problems. This one in particular was one of my favorite options. Nov 06, 2017

  • The hospital gave me these when I starting nursing my daughter. Once she got used to them, she wouldn’t nurse without them. They also affected my supply. I would not use again! Nov 03, 2017

    • April D.

    • United States of America

    Really helpful in the early weeks when my nipples were cracked and hurting. Allowed us to continue nursing with less pain while I healed. Oct 27, 2017

  • I was able to nurse my baby and prevent nipple damage until we could get his tongue-tie fixed. Game changer! Oct 26, 2017

  • These nipple shields helped my little one latch on better when she was a newborn and made breastfeeding so much easier for me. If it weren’t for this product, I would have given up breastfeeding. Oct 25, 2017

  • I love-hate this shield. It definitely helped my NICU baby latch in the beginning, but the screams when it popped off? Pretty sure I have PTSD. Wish I didn't need it, but it, glad it was an option. Oct 24, 2017

  • Helped ease pain for my first, but didn’t for my last. It was also kind of messy and hard for me to keep track of. Oct 21, 2017

    • Ashley K.

    • North Tonawanda , New York

    Worked well when I needed it to. Oct 20, 2017

    • Aly M.

    • Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

    Great when I first started breastfeeding. Weaning off was a bit tricky but really helped me when I first started and baby couldn’t latch. Oct 19, 2017
