Milky Mama to the milk supply rescue!
Breastfeeding is hard. Let me just start off by saying that. It is a full-time job and it’s not for the faint of heart. But wanting to feed my baby was the most important thing to me and I knew I needed to produce enough milk.
I began looking up supplements to help keep my milk supply up so I could have enough to feed my son and have extra to freeze and save. I came across a few companies that were questionable but I wanted something natural. I found Milky Mama in the middle of the night during a nursing session. After researching and reading testimonials, I knew they were the one I wanted to try.
I opted to try the Lactation Brownies, Lactation Cookies, Lactation LeMOOnade (regular and pink lemonade), Tropical Iced Tea, Nipple 911 balm, and the Milk Collector.

The milk collector was great to use on the opposite side while my son was nursing. I could control the suction level and was able to get 1-1.5 oz during a nursing session. The Nipple balm was great to use for sore nips during those first few months. I still use it a few times a week and It’s a great size to throw in your diaper bag.
Overall, I liked the Milky Mama products. I don’t feel like they boosted my supply tremendously but I definitely do think they helped. Every body is different so results will vary but I’m definitely glad I tried them out. Even if it was just an excuse to eat a brownie or cookie, it was a good one!
