Mommy Mundo Expo Find: MommyTreats

As a self-proclaimed breastfeeding advocate, I constantly look for things that would help me on carrying out my decision to breastfeed my infant until he self weaned – that includes researching about fun breastfeeding facts, the hand-expressed milk method (because I'm one of those breastfeeding moms who hates to pump!), the do's and don'ts, and finally, the must-eat to make sure my milk supply is at its prime - quality and quantity.

And then I bump into this.

Mommy Treats Chocolate Chip Cookie

MommyTreats tagline – help increase your milk supply the yummy way!

I’ve been seeing online stores selling prenatal and lactating cookies that claims to increase milk production if matched with frequent feeding, and finally I've been able to taste some during the last Mommy Mundo Expo Mom. Their booth is one of my favorites!

Cookies comes in this water-resistant, air-tight sealed bags to keep it fresh. When stored properly, these baked goods can last for up to 2 weeks in room temperature, a month in refrigerator and 2 months inside the freezer - but I doubt it would last that long in my kitchen, there's a cookie monster living inside me! Haha Can you guess why I only have one photo of the cookie, may kagat pa. The brownies - gone like the wind.

The 3-day trial pack includes 2 chocolate chip, 2 white chocolate chip and 2 raisin cookies. 2 cookies to be consumed per day, these treats are calorie-controlled with a maximum of 150 calories per pack, which aims to increase your milk production but not your weight! I just can't wait for the next day kasi gusto ko na siya kainin! Insanely addicting! The brownies are soft, not too sweet and fudgy - it reminds me of KFC's brownie (my favorite)!

Breastfeeding mom's sacrifice a lot - including time and beauty (pumping during work breaks instead of having a nap, rush sa loo when the baby is wanting milk na and you still didn't let your hair absorb the conditioner kung nagkatime ka pa to put the conditioner in the first place - based on true story, sorry not sorry!) and having these MommyTreats made my giddy excited! It won't make you feel guilty of eating cookies (usually kapag wolfing down, este munching on cookies - guilty agad agad because of calorie, too sugary, etc,.) it will actually make you feel good about yourself - it tastes divine and it's for the baby! What more can you ask for!
