    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

  • Does a great job getting all of the milk out, is pretty compact. Is a workhorse, never had to replace any parts used for 12 mo.Cons- its loud, there is no hands free option you have to be plugged in. Sep 23, 2022

  • No suction at all. Milk gets in the tubes easily if you aren't sitting completely still. It's not a good pump for working, multitasking moms. Unfortunately this is the insurance issued version. Sep 11, 2021

  • A friend gave this to us as a hand me down. It is pretty loud. I didn't end up using it that much. Jun 28, 2021

  • I like this pump, but I would modify it by not using their bottles but Kiinde bags with adaptors, Pumpin Pals flanges, and duckbill valves. Oct 17, 2020

  • Got mine through insurance not sure if its the best have only had medela pumps Aug 29, 2020

    • Vicky C.

    • Silver Spring, Maryland

    Works well. A bit bulky. Always needs plugged in. Aug 15, 2020

  • Works good to empty Apr 19, 2020

  • I wish I would've picked a different pump from insurance. The strength is not great and doesn't have different intervals like a Spectra Jan 26, 2020

  • Worked well for me (I pumped a lot for baby #1 and am using it again with my second). My only complaint is how loud it is. Aug 10, 2019

  • This pump worked great for me. I got it free through my insurance. It was easy to clean and use. It is compact and can fit easily into a bag. The only con I noticed was the noise level. May 10, 2019

  • This pump has worked great for me. The parts are easy to use, system is easy to clean, and Medela offers free breastfeeding advice via internet when registered May 03, 2019

  • The pump works well, it’s noisy. I got it through my hospital’s medical supply. If I were to do it over again, I would go through Target and get the bag or backpack style. Apr 25, 2019

  • It gets the job done in the sense that I have milk in a bottle when I'm done but it takes a long time to get there. I've been using it for 3 weeks and it already feels like its motor is going bad. Feb 11, 2019

  • Easy to use, easy to clean, discreet, and portable. Perfect for working moms Jan 02, 2019

    I didn't love it or regretted it. It did its job partially. i didnt think i got the best pumping experience with it. It is loud and heavy and when at work, the entire office could hear me pump. Oct 09, 2018

  • When I decided to pump, the compactness of the system was a plus... It took quite some time to fill two storage bottles when double pumping. Jun 02, 2018

  • I love this pump. Basic but did the job and didn't come in a bulky bag. Easy to stick in a work bag and go. No frills but I have no complaints. May 08, 2018

  • I have used this pump with two children, and it still works great! It's compact and easy to use. Apr 13, 2018

  • This was a great second pump to have at work Apr 10, 2018

    • Katie G.

    It works well but I find I have to hunch forward to get a good out put. I have smaller breasts so Im not sure if thats why or its the pump. It gets the job done so I just deal with it Mar 20, 2018

  • Easy to use and great compact size. The only thing I don't like is the noise level. It is so noisy! Mar 05, 2018

  • This is a good quality breast pump that works gently and efficiently. Mar 02, 2018

  • Easy to use, and worked great! Feb 28, 2018

  • It works for me, at first it used to hurt to pump but now I am used to it after 7 months, this pump is heavy, so it's a pain to carry around, I use a car adapter to use it in my car and use kiinde. Feb 25, 2018

  • Easiest travel pump (small size). The downside is that there's no rechargeable battery Feb 23, 2018

  • Loved my PISA! Easy to transport, reliable pump. I even bought a second one. Feb 07, 2018

  • Great pump! Just a little noisy. Jan 13, 2018

  • I had this breastpump for my son and plan to get the same one for my daughter! I loved it and it was super easy to use! Dec 11, 2017

  • Pumping is easy at work with this pump. Quick and effective. Dec 09, 2017

  • Insurance covered this pump for us and it's not my favorite. It is loud and not very powerful. Although it is a great size to travel with, particularly in the car! Nov 05, 2017

    • Donna B.

    • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    Has a lot of parts. Does a good job pumping. Bulky to carry around to and from the office Nov 02, 2017

  • Great for someone who wants to exclusively pump! Or someone who wants to start building a stash for when they plan to go back to work! Oct 24, 2017

    • Amy N.

    • United States of America

    My insurance covered this pump and compared to my freestyle (that I bought preinsurance with my first) I do not like it at all. Doesn’t seem to have the same suction power and is sooo loud! Oct 20, 2017

  • Got from my insurance and it’s the same model I already had so the extra set and pieces are nice. Oct 18, 2017

  • I think it is an easy pump to use. Oct 18, 2017

  • Only one I’ve used. Was given to me by insurance and definitely does the job! Easy to use just had to get used to all the part as a new mom. Oct 18, 2017

  • This works well, but I want a hotspot grade pump next time around. This one is a bit loud too. Sep 27, 2017

  • An easy pump to use Sep 03, 2017

  • Almost at 11 months and still going strong! Aug 25, 2017

  • Got this one free from my insurance. I missed the bag that came with the other medela I had previously. It worked well for over a year though! Aug 17, 2017

  • The only pump I have used, but has worked great for me and helped me build a stock of frozen breastmilk for my baby for when I return to work. Aug 12, 2017

  • For exclusive pumping this product helped me pump for my kid's first 10 months! Aug 11, 2017

  • I like this a lot, but I use my hand pump more! It's a great pump tho! Aug 03, 2017

  • Good breast pump. One of the only ones our insurance would cover.It worked well and was easy to carry with me. Jul 18, 2017

    • Erin K.

    • Overland Park, Kansas

    Got this for free through my insurance company and it works well. I bought the tote to carry it in. Has good suction and haven't had any issues with it yet - been using it every day for 6 months. Jul 12, 2017

  • Didn't work for me. It hurt and it didn't draw milk out. Jul 09, 2017

    • Mary H.

    • Hurricane , West Virginia

    It's loud, doesn't work as well as the symphony and not as light as I would want. Jun 23, 2017

    • Amy S.

    • San Ramon, California

    One of the first pumps I used. Did not like this. Medela is the industry standard, but they have not made huge improvements over the years. Jun 20, 2017

  • This pump was amazing continue to work until the last drop! Jun 12, 2017

    • Lisa J.

    • Coral Springs, Florida

    Very efficient in getting the job done with a let down button for easy switching from manual dials to autostimulation. It's definitely not light weight if you get the bag but it's roomy and convenient May 31, 2017
