🌿 Lactation & Breastfeeding Support

What is a galactagogue?

A galactagogue is a food, herb, or nutrient that may help naturally support or increase breastmilk supply. Our blends contain traditional galactagogue ingredients. While results vary, thousands of mums have reported supply improvements when using our blends consistently.

Will your lactation products guarantee a supply boost?

No product can guarantee a milk supply increase as every mum is unique. Our 100% natural lactation blends are formulated to support mums alongside healthy practices like:

  • Frequent latching or pumping

  • Staying well hydrated

  • Eating a varied, nutrient-rich diet

  • Power pumping in the early postpartum days

How do I take the blends?

Our versatile lactation and hydration blends can be made into:

  • Hot lattes

  • Milkshakes

  • Smoothies

  • Blendy bowls

  • Overnight oats

Absolutely! Our lactation superfood blends are rich in nutrients and safe for the whole family to enjoy. Share them in smoothies or blendy bowls — even our founder’s toddler and husband love them (and no, the husband doesn’t lactate 😄).
