Sponsor's own description
Lactation cookies contain ingredients thought to increase breast milk production. Although these cookies are widely purchased and consumed with the intention to increase breast milk supply, no scientific investigation has explored the effects of lactation cookies on human breast milk production. This study will evaluate the effects of a lactation cookie in breast milk production, relative to cookies without ingredients thought to increase breast milk production in exclusively breastfeeding mothers of healthy, term babies.
