Boobie Superfood Lactation Bars

I am a first time mom and always dreamed about how i would breastfeed my baby. Just like many FTM you think it will be an easy road, but it isnt, at least thats how it was for me! To my surprise when my baby was born my colostrum didn't came in until 3 days after delivery and it clearly wasnt enough to satisfy my baby’s needs! My baby would suck desperately, but nothing will come out, he lost 11.8% of his weight after birth (10% is the max they should lose) so the hospital would not discharge him until he got some weight back! so the nurses told me i had to switch to formula, and I was heartbroken! I was crying and so stressed not to be able to nourish my baby :( I even felt guilty about it because he would cry so much (which actually made it worse because stress does lower your milk supply) and If you are reading this review, then you probably are on the same boat, and understand how frustrating it can be! Right after the nurses told me that I had my bought buy me everything she could find on the market to increase milk supply! And I even took it all at once lol! I tried everything! Fenugreek+Blessed Thistle, fenugreek powder to drink, dill, “agua panela”, you name it! It did help increasing my milk supply, but it still wasnt enough for the baby, so I had to stick ro formula for some more time! Until somebody sent me the boobie bar photo, I looked up all reviews on amazon and decided to give it a try! I have to confess that a bar that seems much like a protein bar didnt much sound like something that would work better than a pill, and even taste so good, but they did! And i am so glad i came across them! I have taken them only for 3 days and my supply has almost doubled, i went from a typical extraction of 6 oz in the morning (3 per breast), and 3oz in the later extractions (1 or 1/2 per breast) to an amazing 8-9 oz (4oz per breast) in the morning and consistently 4oz (2 per breast) in the later extractions! I have been able to freeze so much already! More than what i had frozen on 2 weeks! (See picture attached. Flat bags are before boobie bar (2 weeks) blue bags are after 4 days!)So if you are looking for something to increase your milk supply this is the product! It is a bit pricey, but hey! Isnt your little one worth every penny? Not to mention that being able to give breastmilk along with all its benefits to your baby, and also have him breastfeed and bond to you is just priceless! Plus formula is super expensive as well, so is not like you will save money with the formula option!PD. I dont usually leave reviews, but I thought it was worrh the time writing it to help other moms who are on the same boat!

Admittedly, I've only been using these for 2 days and, on day 1, I could only eat half a bar at a time (forced my husband to eat the other half). So I'm now down a total of 4 bars, of which I ate 3 full ones in total.First day eating half a bar, I had milk production almost equivalent to my morning production (~60ml after feeding baby, typically 20-30ml at that point if day). Later on, I ate another half of a bar and the same thing happened.I ate a full bar today and same thing. I just ate another full bar. You'll have the full milk produced in 1-4 hours. If you wait 4 hours, you might get leakage. I keep alternating breasts every feed to ensure neither get too full.For the record, I am trying no other products with this. I was supplementing with formula but now exclusively breastfeed. I am 16 days post c-section, milk didn't come in until 5-7 days after and I didn't make enough at that point to breastfeed in spite of pumping & breastfeeding for over a week and a half, both before & after it came in. I pumped every other hour, attempted to breastfeed every non-pump hour to increase supply, ate 2500-3000 calories per day and am still losing ½-1lb per day (down 15.8lbs at this point, which might be part of the supply issue). This really works in spite of all these setbacks, I promise you.The flavor is reminiscent of fiber one bars, but off-brand in quality, has the cooling effect of erythritol (a natural, sugar free sweetener) and the flavor is best described as earthy cinnamon, likely due to the turmeric. The chocolate tastes cheap & fake. Not great, but it works just as good in half a bar as it does as a full bar so you don't actually have to eat the whole thing to get the same result.

My wife really likes the oatmeal chocolate chip flavor, and she hates oatmeal cookies so it's a real compliment. Also it definitely seems to work, plenty of milk coming in to feed our new twins and pumps an hour or two post-bar seem to yield more.

Okay so after eating these for a week, I did notice an increase in breast milk production-so it is effective. Not a huge amount but I’ve been having trouble and I was able to go up from one oz to two oz. The taste isn’t amazing , but the ingredients are healthy and do prove to work and the blue berries do a pretty good job of being the stronger tastes. They do have a bitter/ grassy aftertaste but it’s not that bad, I just drank milk afterwards. I don’t think they smell bad, but I’m not a picky person. They do break apart pretty easily regarding consistency and can produce crumbs. Just wanted to let you know just in case you open a broken one and they spill out. Overall it’s a good price for a product that works.

These bars are the truth! If anything, the taste is great! I find myself eating them when i have a sweet tooth! So consider them to have a dual purpose! They oatmeal chocolate chip is great! Kinda reminds me of chic fila cookies! The real chocolate chips add a great touch!Now to the real question, does it help produce more milk? And the answer is YES!!! I began eating these the day i delivered. Though at the time it was just colostrum, my nature milk was being produced by the 3rd day! Very different than when it produced with my first child (two years ago). I feel like these bars helped produce the milk faster. I could actually see the milk forming around my babies mouth assuring me that it was actually milk coming out! I couldn’t be more satisfied with the product. Will def be trying the other flavors that they have!

Excellent product. Really works!

Not a huge fan of the taste, it’s quite strong, the texture is alright, not too dry. Size is like any other snack bar. Ingredients are good, has a lot of stuff that it’s known to help with boosting milk supply and aid milk flow. I can’t say it works but it is made with good ingredients, just too expensive in my opinion. I rather bake my own lactation snacks.
