Welcome Baby: Milkin' Cookies Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

I always knew I wanted to breastfeed before I gave birth to my first child. But as any new mom I didn't anticipate all the complex challenges that came with it. Overcoming pain, thrush, and having to change my diet entirely due to her milk protein allergy. Not a walk in the park for sure. I also had concerns about supply. I'm a tiny person and to keep up with her appetite I had to eat and drink way more than I ever do. I've tried herbal teas to increase supply with some success as well. 

This time around I'm glad to have something to rely on to boost my milk supply - Milkin' Cookies! Made with whole wheat flour, flax seed, wheat germ, and oats, these cookies have no preservatives, artificial ingredients, herbs, or medicines. The ingredients naturally boost your milk supply. 

We received some samples to try and will be receiving a supply for the first weeks after giving birth as well. They are individually packaged, which makes it really convenient to grab and take along with you any time (as much as I don't like individual packaging, this proved to be very helpful). I opened the first one, the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, and tried it with my toddler. These cookies aren't just for breastfeeding moms - anyone can eat them! We both loved it at first bite. They weren't too sweet, perfectly flavorful, chewy, and the right size. The Cranberry Almond Oatmeal ones were just as delicious! My toddler liked them a little too much, she wanted to eat all of them at once so I had to hide them. The only problem I had is that they were really crumbly when she ate them, so it made a mess for me to clean up. But I'll be the one eating them anyway, so not a big deal.

We never buy store bought cookies, period. I make cookies from scratch every week because my husband can't live without them. So I have high standards! Store bought cookies make me want to gag. These were so fresh and tasted very 'homemade'. They are made without preservatives and in small batches, then sent out to subscribers, thus they are meant to be eaten while they are still fresh. They are perfect for that transition to becoming a parent (or adding another baby), when you don't really have time to be making fresh cookies yourself with similar ingredients.

One of you will win a two week supply of Milkin' Cookies ($20.99 value)! No, you don't have to be breastfeeding to enter the giveaway, but please give moms who really need a breast milk supply boost a chance!
