What is a lactation cookie?
Lactation cookies are cookies baked with ingredients that many breastfeeding parents traditionally turn to when they want a little extra support. Think hearty oats, ground flaxseed, and brewer’s yeast, all wrapped up in a soft, chocolate-chip studded treat.
These ingredients are sometimes called “galactagogues,” meaning foods or substances that are believed to help support milk production. While there's no guaranteed result for everyone, many moms love them as a comforting, easy snack during long days and nights of feeding.
More importantly, lactation cookies are a simple way to remember to eat, hydrate, and take a breath—which are all essential for keeping up your energy while caring for your baby. Whether they give your supply a nudge or just make you feel cared for, they're meant to be a delicious part of your breastfeeding toolbox, not a magic fix.

Made with Love
Hi, I'm Julian, the home baker behind Julian's Lactation Cookies. This all started in my own kitchen, when my wife was breastfeeding and I wanted to support her in any way I could—so I did what I love most: I baked.
I began making these cookies for her first, then for friends as they started their own parenting journeys. One batch turned into many, and before long, people kept asking, "Can I order some of those lactation cookies you made?"
That's how Julian's Lactation Cookies were born—out of a love for baking and deep respect for the hard, beautiful work of feeding a baby.
I know a cookie isn't going to do the feeding for you. But I believe a warm, homemade treat can remind you that you're not doing this alone. My goal is simple: to send a little sweetness, encouragement, and nourishment to breastfeeding parents, one batch at a time.
Baked at home with simple, familiar ingredients and plenty of care, these cookies are my way of cheering you on—wherever you are in your feeding journey.
