Can one use this product directly (without making a lactation cookie) to bolster breast milk supply?

Yes, you can put 1 to 2 tablespoons in your drink and it should improve your milk supply.

You might be able to lessen the qty of milk to have it "set" but it is not design for that. Works best in Trifle or with fresh fruit it is meant to be used almost liquid.

I cannot recommend it on that basis. I do not use it as a milk substitute, only as an additive to my power meal mix.

I don't think it would make a difference if it was breast milk or formula. But honestly I think this is a waste of money, it takes way too long to heat up, it would be quicker to hold bottle under hot running water! I regretted this purchase.

You certainly can. Most milk sold in stores is fine. I read that Walmart milk doesn't work as well. The best milk I got was from Price Chopper. I also purchased calcium chloride to add to my milk. Google it for more info.

When I started taking these it helped boost the quantity of milk right away. Never had to supplement with formula, breastmilk only. And the days I forgot to take the supplements, my breasts wouldn't swell up as much so I figure these supplements actually do help the production of milk.

This product does not necessarily helps with lactation but if the mother is already breast feeding it will help draw out the milk, but not pump it out.

It has a very slight effect on the muscles tones. But I would say that if you use it for as many hours as possible everyday you might increase your results. Also, breastfeed for as long as you can! :) Goodluck.

You can do either. It's better to do it directly so you don't lose milk in the transfer.

It is possible. This isn't a very good product anyway. It is too hard to adjust the feeding times. I don't recommend buying it.

I suppose you could as long as its very snug against your breast at all times and as long as you dont mind the milk not being refrigerated right away. I dont do it because i toss and turn alot & I think it would leak out.

We used this from birth without any problems, but we also breasted half the time as well. She not a "toddler" quite yet but doesn't take formula anymore because she's eating solids.

yes I think so. I've noticed that it is not as cool at around 7 -8 hours so I wouldn't push it much past 6 hours, especially with breast milk.

Absolutely, we used it exclusively for that until about 9 months (or later) when we introduced regular cow's milk. And we continued to used it for sometime after that. - @notagrouch

No. You can use Medela nipple (or other brands, I'm sure), or you can get one time use nipple on Amazon.

Yes you could. It would be like using low fat regular milk so you might need a thickener. Be sure to check recipes for using milk instead of cream.

Never tried that. I use the breastmilk storage bags and medela bottles for that. Good idea though and probably would work. I would check with the manufacturer
