Breastfeeding mamas looking to boost milk supply with lactation cookies, cakes and drinks: try these delicious treats for your teats!
If you’re breastfeeding or intend to once your baby arrives, you would know the importance of nourishing yourself to yield quality breastmilk for your bub. Lactation cookies, bakes and drinks can help to increase or improve your milk supply, thanks to the lactation-promoting ingredients (aka galactagogues) in them like brewer’s yeast, fenugreek and oats.
You may be wondering, “Do they really work, though?” In our experience, lactation bakes are best for mamas who already have a milk supply going. Many mamas find improvement in the quantity or quality of their breastmilk after consuming galactagogues, but if you’re already struggling and need more professional help with your breastfeeding worries, it’s best to visit a lactation consultant.
That said, we still enjoy lactation bakes and drinks as nutritious snacks and desserts, plus they’re healthy enough for us to share with our tiny food-snatchers kids!
Psst… Read our comprehensive guide to all things breastfeeding here!
Keep scrolling for some of our fave lactation cookies and baking companies in Singapore!
Singapore Lactation Bakes
Established in 2015, Singapore Lactation Bakes (SLB) is a major player on the local lactation baked goods scene. They started as a small outlet in the heartlands, but have now expanded to have their own manufacturing plant producing specially curated and formulated cookies, brownies, cookie cups and muffins. Their bakes are made in a Singapore Food Agency-approved environment with strict hygiene standards, and products are baked and shipped out within 24 hours – talk about fresh! You can find their goodies straight from their website, or well-stocked in leading hospitals such as Thomson Medical Centre, Raffles Hospital and Mount Elizabeth Orchard. SLB also offers gift hampers and lactation teas, which make great baby shower gifts for expecting mama friends!

They’ve served over 1 million mamas and UpSpring is currently the #1 lactation supplement drink in the USA! UpSpring lactation supplements are non-GMO, all natural, and are highly concentrated in herbs (one sachet delivers the equivalent of 1,800mg of fenugreek). This way, you only need to take 2 sachets per day to enjoy the benefits! They’ve just launched a Coffee Lactation drink with fenugreek and blessed thistle so you won’t have to miss out on coffee while breastfeeding. It helps to naturally promote breastmilk supply, ensuring you enjoy all the goodness of the galactagogues while indulging in your morning cuppa (hot or cold!). If you’re looking for something fruity, try their Berry-Flavored Drink containing fenugreek, blessed thistle, and anise seed extract which is easy and convenient to prepare even on your busiest days. We love that all of UpSpring Milkflow’s products are recommended by lactation consultants!

2NUTGUYS
When Chee Leong and his wife welcomed their bundle of joy, it was a mixture of not only joy but also helplessness – especially when he witnessed how challenging breastfeeding was for his wife. As she unfortunately wasn’t blessed with enough breastmilk supply for their baby, it turned out to be the ‘darkest period’ of the early newborn days. This led to the creation of 2NUTGUYS, a line of yummy nut spreads and nut mixes that have been proven to increase mamas’ breastmilk supply (over 40% of the mamas surveyed experienced an increase!). The founders surveyed 30 mamas who were facing lactation problems and wanted something different from the usual lactation cookies and goodies offered on the market. After lots of research and feedback, they’ve created Mummy’s Nutmond Butter and sugarless nut mixes, all made with no preservatives, colouring or MSG. So 2NUTGUYS can be a calorie-less alternative or addition to lactation cookies. Whether you’re looking for something to put on your morning toast, add to your overnight oats and yogurt or even something easy to snack on its own, make sure you check out 2NUTGUYS!

Burpps
Burpps Lac+ lactation cookies are the result of two long years of intense research. The recipes are formulated by Burpps’ in-house nutritionist and food technologists, and consist of various milk-boosting ingredients that are natural – think rolled oats, grounded flaxseed meal, brewer’s yeast, fenugreek and ground fennel.

Some centres also distribute the cookies, including it as part of their dietary supplement to breastfeeding mamas that are under their care.

Extra Nordic
[Currently on hiatus.]
Extra Nordic is the only lactation bakes company in Singapore that produces Nordic-inspired bakes in a Singapore Food Agency-approved facility! The founders of Extra Nordic are one part Norwegian and one part Singaporean – they drew on their knowledge of the breastfeeding culture and diet in Norway to create an original recipe based on the concept of de fyra sädesslagen or ‘the four significant grains’ in the Nordics: oats, wheat, barley and rye. Their award-winning flagship lactation cookies are made with an extra rich 5-in-1 galactagogue blend that’s chockfull of milk-boosting ingredients. Have we mentioned they have a whopping 11 cookie flavours? Probably the biggest selection of lactation cookie flavours in Singapore! That includes the classic Original Gold and Dark Choc Chip, the Nordic rendition Earl Grey 59°N, the refreshing yet mildly spicy Lemon Ginger, the chewy Sunkissed Raisins, and more! We also love that they’re all packed in a beautiful, minimalist mint green box that makes them perfect for gifting.
