Do Lactation Cookies Work?
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m trying so hard… why does breastfeeding still feel so hard?” You’re not alone….
Lactation cookies aren’t a cure-all, but they can be a comforting piece of the puzzle.
Moms love them because they:
Add extra calories and nutrition when your body needs it most
Use organic ingredients like oats, flax, and brewer’s yeast that are traditionally supportive to increase milk supply
Are easy to eat during cluster feeding and sleepless nights
Feel like one small way to be cared for in a season where you’re giving so much 🫶
The biggest benefit?
They help you feel nourished, encouraged, and wrapped in a little extra love.
What Makes Lactation Cookies “Lactation-Friendly”?
The key is high-quality, organic ingredients that support breastfeeding and postpartum nourishment!

BREWER’S YEAST

NUT BUTTERS + EGGS

The Story Behind Gigi’s Cookie Jar
A lactation cookie recipe that started with a challenging breastfeeding journey
Gigi’s Cookie Jar was born from a real postpartum struggle.
When Beth had her first baby, she worked incredibly hard to breastfeed, exclusively pumping for months, doing everything “right,” and still facing reduced milk supply.
She tried store-bought lactation cookies hoping for support… but they were dry, expensive, and honestly didn’t taste great.
So her mom, Diane VerHaagh (“Gigi”), did what moms do best… She supported her daughter and came up with a special recipe.
Not just “healthy”… but actually delicious, comforting, and nourishing during the hardest season of early motherhood.
Now, Beth and Diane are a mother-daughter duo on a mission to support moms with something simple, meaningful, and genuinely helpful:
