14 Biscuits Per Tin
Prepare for breastfeeding success with our nutrient-rich Tanker Toppers lactation cookies, designed to support mamas during the final stages of pregnancy and through their breastfeeding journey.
When can I start eating Franjos Kitchen lactation cookies and muesli?
* 34-36 weeks pregnant: Start with 1-2 of our nourishing lactation cookies per day, especially beneficial for those planning to express colostrum antenatally.
* 36-39 weeks pregnant: Increase your intake to 2-3 lactation cookies daily to further support your milk supply and load you up with goodness.
* From 39 weeks to birth: Enjoy 2 cookies in one sitting, twice per day (and take it as a moment of self-care in your day!)
* First week postpartum: For the first 3 or so days, your body will be producing liquid gold - colostrum. Colostrum is full of antibodies, vitamins and minerals and is incredibly important. Generally, your milk will ‘come in’ around day 3-5. To nourish your body with galactogens (ingredients that have promoted and supported milk supply for decades), eat 2 cookies every 3-4 hours. They are the perfect one-handed snack for breastfeeding!
* First month postpartum: As you work on establishing breastfeeding, it's important to feed every 3-4 hours (or every 15 minutes if they are like our babies!). Incorporate our lactation cookies into your routine to support your milk supply naturally.
* Ongoing postpartum needs: Tailor your intake based on your body's signals. For a boost before what you anticipate as a "lower" supply feeding, enjoy 2-3 biscuits 3 hours in advance. Many mums find this especially helpful for enhancing the afternoon feeding session.
How many should I eat:
2 biscuits = 1 serve
For an energy and milk boost, try our range of lactation cookies, including Choc Chip, Fig & Almond, and Gluten-Free options like Currant & Coconut, and Choc Chip. Perfect for mid-morning or afternoon snacks, and essential during night feeds in the early weeks postpartum. Keep a tin by your breastfeeding chair for a nutritious nibble as you nurse.
How long do your products last?
Our cookies and muesli are all-natural and preservative-free. For the best taste and freshness, seal them tightly and enjoy within 4-6 weeks of opening. Our hydration powders stay fresh longer when sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.
Does your vanilla extract contain alcohol?
No, our lactation cookies and muesli that have the deliciousness of vanilla do not contain alcohol.
