OUR LACTATION BLENDS AND HOW TO USE THEM

Mother breastfeeding a child

Being a mamma is really tough work..

From one exhausted, hopeful, doing-her-best mama to another.

Becoming a mum is beautiful — but ohhh mama, it’s also a LOT.
There are moments of pure love… and then there are the questions that keep us up at night:

  • Am I making enough milk?

  • What should I be eating while breastfeeding?

  • How do I stay healthy when I barely have time to shower?

  • How do I look after myself and my baby at the same time?

If you’re breastfeeding, your body is doing something incredible: making the perfect nutrition for your baby. And that means what you eat, drink and do really does matter — not in a stressful way, but in a “your body deserves support too” way.

This guide is here to help you understand breastfeeding nutrition, milk supply basics, and how our Mammas Milk Bar blends fit into your routine.

Why Nutrition matters so much during breastfeeding:
Breast milk is naturally designed for your baby — but breastfeeding can drain your nutrients fast. Many mums feel:

-Low energy

-Hungry all the time

-Overwhelmed trying to feed themselves

-Unsure what’s “safe” or “healthy” to eat

-Pressure to keep supply up

If you’ve had a C-section, are recovering physically, or simply juggling newborn life, sitting down for proper meals can feel impossible.

That’s why quick, nourishing options can make such a difference.

Why I Created Mammas Milk Bar (My Story)

I struggled with low milk supply as a new mum.
I desperately wanted something:

  • healthy

  • 100% natural

  • low in sugar

  • delicious

  • AND actually supportive for busy breastfeeding mums

… but nothing existed.

So, I made my own. During COVID, I shared my own blend with other mums in our ICU unit and they found that the blends also helped them. With the intention to help women, while holding down a full time job at the time, I decided to dive right into creating something for the community. Through research and trail and error and feedback from midwives and doctors, our brand was born.

That’s how Mammas Milk Bar was born — made in New Zealand, created by a mum who gets it.

How to Take Mammas Milk Bar Blends

Every mum is different, but here’s what we generally recommend:

📌 Serving size:

1 heaped tablespoon

📌 How often:

2–3 times per day if you’re actively supporting supply

📌 Friendly reminder:

Some mums go up to 3 tablespoons — it’s totally fine to adjust to taste and preferences.

📌 IMPORTANT:

Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Hydration plays a huge role in milk production.
Combine with power pumping, an easy trick taught by our midwives in our team is to try using a silicone pump and massaging the breast to stimulate a let down.
Removal of milk encourages production of supply. Milk removed = Milk Made

How to use the Blend? Here are some ways to Use the Blends (Quick + Easy)

🥛 Milkshakes

1 serving + 1 cup of your favourite milk → shake or blend
1 serving and 1 cup of your favorite milk and Shake shake shake! Alternatively, you can blitz it in a blender as well. For me, when Im busy, Il add in a dollop of yogurt or to be extra, some ice cream. There is some settlement at the bottom but that is seriously good stuff, so just give it a swirl around.

☕ Lattes

This is a tip my fellow mammas gave me about the blends which is so neat. 1 serving with warm/hot milk, or your morning coffee/tea in a shaker or keep cup (lid on) and shake, shake, shake! Alternatively if you have a nespresso milk foarmer/steamer/aerochino, just add your milk, and a serving and away you go. You can see one of our mammas prepare one here

Nespresso Milk steamer Aerochino foamer

🥤 Smoothies

Blend 1 serving with milk, water, fruit, or anything you love.

🍨 Hot Blendy Bowl

Heat 1 cup of warm milk on the stove and 1 serving and keep stirring until it gets thick. It gets thick really fast so keep a eye out! Serve with your favourite toppings.
Top with fruit, nuts, seeds, granola, chocolate… anything!

Please note that our blends are made with LOW sugar because we want every mamma to be able to enjoy them. Some mammas might have conditions where low sugar is required and sweet treats are not possible. So do add your own to suit. 

Pumping Milk Boost supply Mammas Milk Bar

Will taking Mamma's Milk Bar Lactation Blends guarantee my supply to boost?

We can’t make guarantees — every mum’s body is unique.
But many mums do report feeling more nourished and noticing a lift in supply when they combine the blends with milk-making habits.

We use selected galactagogue ingredients traditionally used to support breastfeeding.

To give your body the best chance, we recommend the routine below.

You can read more tips here. 

How long will it take to see results?

Most women see results within 3-4 days, some sooner, some later, and for a few, maybe not at all, we need to stress that every mamma is different, and things like drinking lots of water, power pumping helps to stimulate milk production. 

My TOP Tips to Help Support Milk Supply Fast

Here’s what I share with every mama who messages me:

1. Take the blends up to 3 times a day

Especially for the first 3 days if you’re trying to increase supply.

2. Drink LOTS of water

Your body needs fluid to make fluid — makes sense, right?

3. Power pump every 3–4 hours

For the first 3 days, try:

  • pump 20 mins

  • rest 10

  • pump 10

  • rest 10

  • pump 10

This mimics cluster feeding and signals your body to increase output.

4. Use a Haakaa silicone pump

Every 3–4 hours, attach it and gently massage your breast to stimulate a let-down.
Every let-down = a signal to your brain to make more milk.

Most mums see changes in 3–4 days, some faster, some slower.

5. Keep stimulation consistent

Latch baby often if possible, or pump regularly.
Supply is all about demand → signal → response.

Are the Blends safe for my family to take?

ABSOLUTELY. YES!
They’re natural, nutritious, and perfect for smoothies and bowls.
My toddler shares mine, and my husband loves them too (and no, he won’t lactate 😆).
