These cookies are made for you if:

• You're breastfeeding or pumping and want nutritious, convenient support between feeds
• You're avoiding dairy, eggs, nuts, or soy (for yourself or your baby's comfort)
• You want a lactation snack you can share with the rest of the family
• Your IBCLC, midwife, or child health nurse has recommended lactation cookies
• You're shopping for a thoughtful, practical new-mum gift — something she'll actually use

Not the right fit if you have a diagnosed oat or gluten intolerance (these contain oats).

Step 1 — Start gentle: 2–3 cookies daily for the first few days to see how your body responds.

Step 2 — Settle into rhythm: 1–2 cookies daily as part of your regular breastfeeding routine — morning tea, after a feed, or whenever hunger hits between naps.

Step 3 — Pair with the basics: Combine with regular feeding or pumping, good hydration, and rest where you can.

Mama tip: Many mums pair these with Nourish Mama Berry Bliss Lactation Tea or Recovery Hydration Powder for a more complete postpartum nourishment routine.

When to start: From around 36 weeks pregnant, or any time during breastfeeding.

I'm worried I'm not making enough milk. Will lactation cookies help?

Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies are a nourishing snack, not a fix. They're made with oats and linseed, ingredients traditionally used to support breastfeeding. Frequent feeds or pumping, enough food and enough water matter most. If you're worried about your supply or your baby's weight, talk to your child health nurse, GP or a lactation consultant (IBCLC). You're not alone in this worry.

I barely have time to eat between feeds. Is a cookie a proper snack?

It's real food you'll actually eat. Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies are made with buckwheat flour, oats and linseed, and they're ready straight from the box. Eat one with one hand while you feed. Keep a box by the feeding chair, one in the nappy bag and one in the car, so food is always within reach.

I'm up at 3am feeding and I'm starving. What can I grab?

A cookie and a glass of water. Night feeds leave many mums ravenous, and nobody wants to cook at 3am. Keep a few Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies on your bedside table with a drink bottle. They're soft, chocolatey and ready to go, with no prep and no trip to the kitchen.

Every lactation snack I've tried tastes like cardboard. Are these any good?

They're made to taste like a real choc chip cookie, not a supplement. Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies are soft and chocolatey, with dark chocolate chips, coconut sugar and maple syrup. There's no herby or yeasty aftertaste. They hold 4.9 stars from 102 reviews. Fair warning: the rest of the household will want some too.

Who are these cookies for?

Breastfeeding and pumping mums who want a quick, nourishing snack between feeds. Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies also suit vegan mums and mums avoiding dairy, for themselves or for a baby's comfort. They make a practical gift for a new mum. They're not right for anyone with an oat or gluten intolerance, as they contain oats.

When should I start eating them?

Any time while you're breastfeeding. Many mums start in the first week after birth, while feeding settles in. Some start from around 36 weeks pregnant, so the cookies are in the cupboard when the baby arrives. If you're pregnant, talk to your midwife or GP before adding new foods.

What do they taste like?

Like a soft chocolate chip cookie. Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies get a rich cocoa flavour from dark chocolate chips, with warmth from coconut sugar and maple syrup. Oats and linseed give a wholesome texture. They don't taste of herbs or brewer's yeast, so they suit mums who don't enjoy herby lactation snacks.

I'm dairy-free and vegan. Can I eat them?

Yes. Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies are vegan and made without dairy. Many mums choose them while cutting dairy for a breastfed baby. They contain gluten from oats. The box label says they may contain nuts, egg, soy and lupin, so they're not suitable if you have a severe allergy to any of these.

How many should I eat a day?

Start with 2 to 3 cookies a day for the first few days. Then settle into 1 to 2 a day as part of your routine. Each 200g box holds 10 cookies, so one box lasts five to ten days at 1 to 2 a day. Eat them when hunger hits, not by the clock.

When is the best time to eat them?

Whenever you're hungry. Many mums have one at morning tea, one after a feed, or one in the afternoon slump. A cookie by the bed helps with night feeds too. Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies are made to fit around your baby, not the other way round.

How do I get the most from them?

Pair them with the basics. Feed or pump often, drink water through the day and rest where you can. Many mums enjoy Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies with a cup of Nourish Mama Berry Bliss Lactation Tea or a glass of Postpartum Hydration Powder. A cookie and a drink by the feeding chair makes a simple daily ritual.

What are the ingredients?

Buckwheat flour, coconut sugar, oats, linseed meal, water, dark compound chocolate (sugar, vegetable fat, cocoa powder, emulsifier (322), ethyl vanillin), coconut oil, maple syrup, Citri-Fi, salt and baking powder. Oats and linseed are the ingredients traditionally used to support breastfeeding. Each 200g box holds 10 Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies.

What allergens does it contain?

Contains: Gluten (from oats). May contain: Nuts, Egg, Soy and Lupin. Not suitable if you have a severe allergy to nuts, egg, soy or lupin. The recipe is vegan and made without dairy. Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies aren't suitable for anyone with an oat or gluten intolerance.

Can I eat them while pregnant or on medication?

Many mums start Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies from around 36 weeks pregnant, so they're ready when the baby arrives. Talk to your midwife or GP before adding new foods in pregnancy. If you take medication or have a health condition, check with your GP or pharmacist first. The recipe contains no fenugreek or brewer's yeast.

How are these different from the other Nourish Mama cookies?

Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies are the chocolatey, family-friendly choice, made with oats and linseed. Nourish Mama Fennel and Fenugreek Lactation Cookies add fennel and fenugreek for a herbal, savoury-sweet flavour, and they're for breastfeeding only. Nourish Mama White Choc and Ginger Lactation Cookies bring gentle ginger and white chocolate, made for pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Why not bake my own lactation cookies?

You can, if you have the time and energy. Most new mums don't. Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies arrive ready to eat, with no shopping, mixing or baking between feeds. The recipe is formulated by Kelly Northey, Certified Postpartum Nutrition Professional. If you like a little kitchen time, the Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix is a no-bake option.

How do these compare with other lactation cookies?

Many lactation cookies rely on brewer's yeast, dairy or eggs. Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies use oats and linseed instead, in a vegan recipe made without dairy, eggs, nuts or soy. They're formulated by a Certified Postpartum Nutrition Professional, and they taste like a real choc chip cookie rather than a supplement.

How many boxes should I buy?

At 1 to 2 cookies a day, one box of 10 lasts five to ten days. Two or three boxes cover the early weeks without a reorder. Orders usually leave within 1 to 2 business days. Free AU shipping applies on orders over $99, with a $12 flat rate in Australia and $15 to New Zealand.

Are they a good gift for a new mum?

Yes. Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies are something a new mum will use every day, unlike another candle. They suit dairy-free and vegan mums. For a ready-to-give box, the Postpartum Gift Box pairs these cookies with Lactation Hot Chocolate Original, and the Lactation Cookies Gift Box pairs them with Fennel and Fenugreek cookies.

How do I store them, and how long do they last?

Store the box in a cool, dry place and close it after opening. Check the best-before date printed on the box. Keep a few by the bed or in your bag, and the rest in the pantry. Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies ship Australia-wide, usually within 1 to 2 business days.
