Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients make these lactation cookies?

Our cookies are packed with brewer’s yeast, coconut oil, and flaxseed. All of these lactogenic ingredients have been proven to increase breastmilk production in many women! Our products are always fenugreek-free. On top of the lactogenic ingredients, they help by aiding in the consumption of extra calories & fats, as well as producing the happy chemical oxytocin which directly impacts breastmilk supply!

How long are the cookies good for?

Our cookies stay fresh in air-tight containers for 5-7 days at room temperature. They can be frozen in a regular freezer for 3 months or a deep freezer for 6 months. We recommend freezing your cookies & transferring 2-3 to the fridge before bed each night to thaw so that they are ready to eat the following day & stay as fresh as the day they were baked!

Do you have dairy-free or gluten-free options?

We have gluten-free & dairy-free options! Please check out our allergy friendly options under the offerings tab.

Can I buy a gift card?

Absolutely! Gift cards make excellent gifts for the moms and moms-to-be in your life! Please message me on instagram (@milkywaybakeryaz) or facebook (The Milky Way Bakery) to purchase!

Do you take special requests?

Absolutely! I’d be happy to bake you something custom. Shoot me a message on instagram (@milkywaybakeryaz) or facebook (The Milky Way Bakery) to make it happen!

Why do you require payment up front?

As a small business, it costs me money to waste product when somebody places an order and then never shows up to get it! Payment up front protects me from having no-shows since my orders are custom made.

Will you deliver outside of the 10 mile radius?

No, we do not deliver outside of the 10 mile radius, or on any day other than Friday. We do offer shipping right to your door!

Do you offer promo codes for influencers?

I do offer promotional packages for influencers who are interested in collaborating. DM me on instagram (@milkywaybakeryaz) or facebook (The Milky Way Bakery) to get started! 🩷

How do I know these will work for me?

WE RECOMMEND ENJOYING 2-3 TREATS PER DAY FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS. BREWER'S YEAST IS SAID TO TAKE 24 HOURS TO TAKE EFFECT, BUT YOU SHOULD SEE THE BEST RESULTS AFTER AROUND 5 DAYS OF CONSUMING THEM DAILY. DIFFERENT PRODUCTS AFFECT EVERYBODY DIFFERENTLY. THE ONLY SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN WAY TO PRODUCE MORE BREASTMILK IS THE CONTINUAL REMOVAL OF MILK. WHILE LOTS OF WOMEN SEE AN INCREASE IN MILK PRODUCTION AFTER CONSUMING CERTAIN INGREDIENTS, OTHERS DON'T NOTICE A DIFFERENCE AT ALL. MY LACTATION PRODUCTS ARE INTENDED TO BE USED ALONGSIDE OTHER ATTEMPS TO. INCREASE OR MAINTAIN SUPPLY (REGULAR NURSING/PUMPING, REPLACING PUMP PARTS, EATING ENOUGH & CONSUMING HEALTHY FATS, DRINKING ENOUGH WATER, WORKING WITH AN IBCLC IF NEEDED, HAVING BABY ASSESSED FOR ORAL TETHERS IF NEEDED, ETC.).
