This lactation cookies gift box is perfect if:

→ You're looking for a practical, thoughtful baby shower or postpartum gift for a breastfeeding mum

→ You want to give variety — one chocolatey, one herbal — so she can find her favourite

→ You're buying for someone who is dairy-free, egg-free, or avoiding brewer's yeast

→ You need a gift that arrives beautifully boxed and ready to give — no wrapping, no fuss

→ You're a new mum treating yourself to two boxes to batch-snack through
the fourth trimester

Not right for the recipient if they have a diagnosed oat or gluten intolerance (both contain oats), or if they prefer to avoid fenugreek — the Choc Chip box alone is fenugreek-free.

Both flavours — Choc Chip and Fennel & Fenugreek:
Start with 2–3 cookies per day for the first few days as the body adjusts, then settle into 1–2 daily as part of a regular breastfeeding routine. Best enjoyed as a morning tea, after a feed, or whenever hunger hits between naps. Each box contains 10 cookies (200gm).

Tip: Many mums alternate between the two flavours throughout the day — Choc Chip for a sweet afternoon treat, Fennel & Fenugreek for a morning ritual with herbal tea. Pair with the Sweet Serenity Lactation Tea for a complete snack and drink breastfeeding ritual.

When to start: Any time during breastfeeding. The Fennel & Fenugreek cookies are for breastfeeding only. Not for use in pregnancy.

Pair with regular feeding or pumping and good hydration.

I'm worried about my supply. Which cookie should I eat?

Either, or both. Both Nourish Mama cookies are made with oats and linseed, and the Fennel and Fenugreek cookies add fennel and fenugreek. These ingredients are traditionally used to support breastfeeding. Keep feeding or pumping often and drink plenty of water. If you're worried about your supply or your baby's weight, talk to your child health nurse, GP or a lactation consultant (IBCLC).

I'm too busy feeding to make proper snacks. Will this help?

Yes. The Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies Gift Box gives you 20 ready-to-eat cookies, so there's always something nourishing within reach. Keep one box by the feeding chair and one in the nappy bag. No baking, no prep and no dishes. Eat one with one hand while the baby feeds.

Night feeds leave me starving. What can I keep by the bed?

A few cookies and a water bottle. Both flavours keep well in their box on the bedside table. Many mums alternate through the day: Fennel and Fenugreek in the morning with a herbal tea, and Choc Chip when a sweet craving hits. You're not alone in waking up ravenous at 3am.

Every lactation snack I've tried tastes awful. Will I like these?

There's a flavour for each mood. The Choc Chip cookies taste like a soft chocolate chip cookie and hold 4.9 stars from 102 reviews. The Fennel and Fenugreek cookies are herbal and savoury-sweet, and hold 4.95 stars from 85 reviews. With both in the Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies Gift Box, she can rotate, or share the one she likes less.

Who is this gift box for?

Breastfeeding and pumping mums, and anyone buying them a practical gift. It suits mums who are dairy-free, egg-free or avoiding brewer's yeast. It's not right for anyone with an oat or gluten intolerance, anyone avoiding fenugreek, or anyone who is pregnant, as the Fennel and Fenugreek cookies are for breastfeeding only.

When should she start eating them?

Once the baby has arrived and she's breastfeeding. The Fennel and Fenugreek cookies are for breastfeeding only. Not for use in pregnancy. Many mums start in the first weeks after birth, when feeds are frequent and meals get missed. For a baby shower, add a note saying 'for after the birth'.

What's the difference between the two flavours?

The Choc Chip cookies are rich and chocolatey, made with dark chocolate chips, oats and linseed. They taste like a classic choc chip cookie. The Fennel and Fenugreek cookies have a herbal flavour from fennel seeds and fenugreek: gently sweet, a little anise-like and warm. The Choc Chip recipe has no fenugreek.

Are they suitable for a dairy-free or vegan mum?

Yes. Both cookies are vegan and made without dairy or brewer's yeast. They contain gluten from oats. The box label says they may contain nuts, egg, soy and lupin. They're not suitable for coeliacs or anyone with a severe allergy to nuts, egg, soy or lupin.

How many should she eat a day?

Start with 2 to 3 cookies a day for the first few days, then settle into 1 to 2 a day. The Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies Gift Box holds 20 cookies, so at 1 to 2 a day it lasts between 10 and 20 days. Eat them when hunger hits, around feeds or as an afternoon ritual.

When is the best time to eat them?

Whenever hunger hits. Morning tea, after a feed, or between naps all work. Many mums alternate through the day, with Fennel and Fenugreek in the morning alongside a herbal tea and Choc Chip as a sweet afternoon snack. A cookie by the bed helps with night feeds too.

Should she pair them with anything?

A drink helps. Many mums pair the cookies with Nourish Mama Sweet Serenity Lactation Tea for a snack and drink ritual. Regular feeding or pumping, water through the day and rest where she can all matter too. The cookies come ready to eat, with nothing to prepare or heat.

What are the ingredients?

Choc Chip: 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, baking powder. Fennel and Fenugreek: buckwheat flour, coconut sugar, oats, linseed meal, water, coconut oil, maple syrup, Citri-Fi, fennel seeds, fenugreek powder, salt, baking powder.

What allergens does it contain?

Contains: Gluten (from oats). May contain: Nuts, Egg, Soy and Lupin. The Fennel and Fenugreek cookies contain fenugreek. Both recipes are vegan and made without dairy and brewer's yeast. Fenugreek is not recommended for people with a fenugreek or chickpea allergy. If she has a food allergy, check this statement before you give the box.

Can she eat them while pregnant or on medication?

The Fennel and Fenugreek cookies are for breastfeeding only. Not for use in pregnancy. Fenugreek is also not recommended for people with hypothyroid conditions or on certain blood-sugar medications. If she takes medication, she should check with her GP or pharmacist first. For a pregnant friend, look at the White Choc and Ginger Lactation Cookies instead, and suggest she talks to her midwife or GP first.

How is this different from the other Nourish Mama gift boxes?

The Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies Gift Box is all cookies, in two flavours. The Postpartum Gift Box pairs Choc Chip cookies with Lactation Hot Chocolate Original and has no fenugreek. The New Mum Gift Box pairs Fennel and Fenugreek cookies with Sweet Serenity Lactation Tea. Choose this one for a mum who loves a snack drawer full of cookies.

Why not bake lactation cookies for her?

Home baking is lovely, but this box saves the shopping and the oven time. Both flavours are formulated by Kelly Northey, Certified Postpartum Nutrition Professional, made without dairy, eggs or brewer's yeast, and packed in gift-ready boxes. Two full-size boxes cost $43.95, a $7.95 saving on buying them separately.

How do these compare with other lactation cookies?

Many lactation cookies use brewer's yeast, dairy or eggs. Nourish Mama cookies use oats and linseed, with fennel and fenugreek in the herbal box, and both are vegan. The Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies Gift Box brings two full-size boxes together, each formulated by a Certified Postpartum Nutrition Professional, in packaging ready to give.

Can I send it straight to her?

Yes. Enter her address at checkout and add your message in the order notes. The box arrives ready to give, with no wrapping needed. Orders usually leave within 1 to 2 business days. Shipping is a $12 flat rate in Australia and $15 to New Zealand, or free in Australia on orders over $99.

How should she store them?

In a cool, dry place, in their boxes. Each box carries a best-before date, so check it before giving. With two boxes of 10, she opens one at a time and the second stays sealed until she needs it. Close the open box after use.

Is one gift box enough?

The Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies Gift Box holds 20 cookies, which lasts 10 to 20 days at 1 to 2 a day. If she finds a favourite, single boxes of Choc Chip or Fennel and Fenugreek are $25.95 each. Orders over $99 ship free in Australia, with a $12 flat rate otherwise.

If you are concerned about your breast milk supply or your baby's health, always seek help from a healthcare provider. Lactation consultants, breastfeeding counsellors, child health nurses, and
doctors can also help with any breastfeeding questions.

The Australian Breastfeeding Association is also a great resource for information and support.
