    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.

    Moms are all about multi-tasking (just ask anyone who can fold laundry, while doing an Amazon Prime order, while playing peek-a-boo with the baby.) Luckily, here's a way to get multiple things done at once, with a lot less juggling...

    UpSpring Milkflow Coffee Pods give nursing women a much-needed caffeine fix—along with milk-boosting duo fenugreek and blessed thistle—in just one cup of joe. A lactation supplement in easy-to-brew coffee? Yes, please!

    Compatible with most Keurig K-Cup coffee makers, each pod serves 55mg of caffeine and 450mg of Fenugreek to help establish or increase a healthy milk supply (hello, growth spurts!). All ingredients are natural, gluten-free, and non-GMO. And don't worry—the pods themselves are made with mother (earth) in mind, too. They're 100% compostable, 100% plant-based, and BPA-free.

    Ready to pop in a pod and get back to that master multi-tasking? Because there's a diaper bag to be packed + car keys to be found.

Featured Parents' Reviews

  • These have saved me so much! I had horrible cracked nipples and these helped so much and helped to get my baby back to my breast. I am so grateful of this product! Nov 05, 2020

  • I realize these were designed for problems like latch issues, etc. I found breast feeding to be painful and these made it so much more more tolerable. No nipple cracking, soreness, etc. with these. Sep 13, 2020

  • Love/ Hate relationship! Did the job but my LO became dependant on them and I had to order another set because I kept losing them. The carrying case is great for travel and super easy to use! Sep 05, 2020

  • Got one from the hospital and bought more once I left Helped my son latch from the day he was born! Aug 08, 2020

  • This is helpful if you have a damaged nipple that needs to heal or if your lo has latching issues. It’s best to use this sparingly to avoid not transferring milk effectively leading to clogged ducts. Jun 05, 2020

    • Emily P.

    • Greensboro , North Carolina

    I will forever be grateful to these for allowing me to nurse my daughter when she struggled to latch on my flat nipples. Make sure an IBCLC teaches you how to put them on correctly. Apr 29, 2020

  • Did the job, but hated having to use and wash it every time. Apr 21, 2020

  • I really struggled with breastfeeding and to me this was a must-have. It worked really well for me and my baby and I was thankful to have it. Feb 14, 2020

  • My life saver for my first pregnancy when I and flat nipples and my son wouldn't latch without causing my nipples to crack Jan 26, 2020

    • Amy S.

    • Kansas City , Missouri

    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

  • This saved our breastfeeding journey! But it did require dedication to wean my little guy off of it. Nov 18, 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 like this one better than the others. The cutout was better for baby's nose as it was always squished against mama. Jun 18, 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
