    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.

Featured Parents' Reviews

  • Used this at the hospital while my baby was there for three weeks. Really effective and user friendly BUT super expensive. I’d get a Spectra instead. Mar 28, 2023

  • Used this at work 1-2 times per day and it worked great. Good suction and easy to use. Aug 28, 2022

  • I used this at the hospital when my LO was born to help my milk come it and it helped so much. It has different settings from my at home pump specifically for establishing supply. Aug 07, 2022

  • I used this pump while I stayed at the NICU with my little one. It was a good pump, easy to adjust to me and use. It was not very heavy, nor was it the largest pump I have seen so size is good as well May 25, 2021

  • I had low supply with both babies and rented this toward the end of my nursing/pumping experience with my first baby. I so regret not doing it earlier. Oct 17, 2020

  • This pump is a game changer. I rented one after struggling for the first 3 months with low supply (covered by insurance!), and this pumped changed everything! Aug 16, 2020

  • Rented this pump to build my supply. It is more effective than the spectra pump and definitely gentler on me. This pump has helped me achieve my breast feeding goals! Apr 30, 2020

  • Good while in hospital Apr 19, 2020

  • Rented it the whole time our baby was in the NICU and I was far from home. Didn't hate it, but I get more milk from my Spectra, and find it easier to clean. Feb 20, 2020

    • San Diego, California

    It's expensive but you can rent it at the hospital. you can turn the suction up real high to get your supply up after birth or after being sick. It's just heavy and hated that I had to be plugged in. Feb 14, 2020

  • This is my first experience using this pump or any pump for that matter. So I'm not sure I can compare. But for the meantime it works with helping me Express milk. I am satisfied. Feb 01, 2020

  • Used at the hospital after delivery, and I loved it. Easy to operate and use. It’s a little crazy how many doo hickeys that come with it, and that you have to put together, but you learn fast Jan 29, 2020

  • Used this pump at work and it hard great strength, but it is expensive to get. Jan 26, 2020

  • I borrowed one from a friend and it was great! Very heavy and bulky so not convenient to bring to and from work but I was able to keep at work. It is really quiet and works very well. Gentle too! Oct 26, 2019

    • Thu P.

    • Chicago, Illinois

    I used this at the hospital. I don't notice a difference to the ones that I have at home. Oct 24, 2019

    • Katy B.

    • Charlotte, North Carolina

    I used this in the NICU and it was AMAZING. My milk never really came in but I could get a ton with this pump. Once we got home sadly my milk dried up because my pump at home wasn't as powerful. Oct 22, 2019

  • I used these while at the hospital after delivery due to some medical complications I needed to pump. I liked that it was quiet and it seemed to work well but not any better than Medela Pump in Style. Sep 29, 2019

  • If you need that extra boost (like in a NICU circumstance), this is a great option. Sep 12, 2019

  • This was ok. The only thing I liked was how easy it was to use. Didn’t feel like it did much though Aug 01, 2019

  • This was essential in building my supply! I rented from the hospital for two months, and was able to pump double what I needed. It was very gentle and super quiet! Jul 24, 2019

    • elizabeth city, North Carolina

    Used this in the hospital and really helped my milk supply. AMAZING product May 13, 2019

  • I used this pump while in the hospital. I would still prefer my spectra over this. I May 12, 2019

  • This was recommended by my doctor so I purchased it. It worked well but was so bulky and honestly kind of an eyesore. I ended up buying a portable one that was small and easy to pack which was great. Apr 25, 2019

  • Used in hospital and renting the past couple months despite have the regular model at home. It is fantastic. It has to plug in but while on maternity leave that is no problem and totally worth it! Mar 28, 2019

  • After my supply dipped due to latch issues, I began pumping. This brought my supply back up, was so quiet & settings were easy to use. This is the reason I am still able to feed my baby breastmilk! Mar 10, 2019

  • Used this in the hospital. It was perfect!! I wish i had been able to bring it home with me Mar 02, 2019

  • I am renting this from my insurance right now and can tell a difference over other pumps! I wish it wasn’t so expensive because I would love to own one! Oct 14, 2018

  • Best hospital grade pump. It is easy to use and adjust the buttons. It also has a powerful suction if you need it. This is the one the hospitals will give you to use. Works great! Oct 08, 2018

  • This pump has been amazing not sure how I could switch to another one. Aug 13, 2018

  • I use this at the hospital and it was the ultimate pump. It has a constant and perfect suck so you get more milk in a shorter amount of time. Wish I could afford to have this at home myself. May 13, 2018

  • This pump saved my ability to breastfeed my son. I was not able to feed him at the breast at first because of my son being in the nicu. I was able to up my supply with the symphony pump. Apr 19, 2018

  • I found Symphony pump to be fairly similar in performance to Pump In Style Advanced. Symphony pump has a bit more gentle suction. Apr 17, 2018

  • I rented this for a month from our local pediatric office. My body would absolutely not respond to this pump. It was unfortunate because I was unable to nurse for a month due to an illness. Mar 21, 2018

  • This pump works so quickly and so well. I always am able to get more milk when using this pump compared to others and it is gentle even while being efficient. Mar 02, 2018

  • I haven't noticed that much of a difference between this and the regular Medela pump in style Feb 23, 2018

    • Jarina D.

    • King of Prussia, Pennsylvania

    • Laura M.

    • Plainfield, New Jersey

    Rented this from the hospital and it has been amazing. Quiet and powerful. Able to exclusively pump for my twins for 5 months. Nov 28, 2017

  • Used it at the hospital to kick start my milk supply & when I left 2 days later I could pump 10mL on each side. Expensive, but worth it if you exclusively pump. Nov 22, 2017

    • Becky A.

    • Crescent Springs, Kentucky

    I rented this after getting fed up with my Spectra S2. Much more effective (not sure if it is the action of the pump) and quieter. Oct 26, 2017

  • I was able to rent this while my daughter was in the hospital. And it helped keep my supply up! Oct 24, 2017
