    What Makes the Best Lactation Cookies in Australia? The Truth About Sugar, Oils & What Actually Supports Breastfeeding

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Check sugar content first—products range from around 5g to over 11g per serve. Look at the fat source: coconut oil provides specific breastfeeding benefits (MCTs, lauric acid) that vegetable oils and palm oil don't offer.

    Review the ingredient list for additives. Consider whether brewer's yeast is included if you or baby have digestive sensitivity.

    Coconut oil contains MCTs and lauric acid—both associated with breastfeeding benefits. Lauric acid is found naturally in breast milk, and research suggests maternal coconut oil consumption can increase breast milk lauric acid content.

    Coconut oil is also anti-inflammatory. Vegetable oils and palm oil don't offer these properties and may contribute to inflammation.

    Soft texture requires moisture-retaining additives, higher sugar content, and processed oils. Crunchy cookies set naturally without these additions, resulting in simpler ingredient lists.

    Some mothers find lighter textures easier to tolerate for daily consumption, especially with sensitive postpartum digestion.

    From brand websites (Nella Vosk, Milky Goodness, Franjo's Kitchen, Sweet Graze, Made to Milk) and retailers like The Memo and Milk and Love. Quality varies significantly—compare sugar content, fat sources, and ingredient lists rather than relying on marketing.

    Most commonly brewer's yeast, which causes gas and bloating in many mothers—effects that can transfer to babies through breast milk.

    Other factors include high sugar content (energy crashes), palm oil or processed vegetable oils (harder to digest), and multiple additives.
