The Struggle is Real.

Making milk is a full-time job.

Bessie’s Best is here to help!

If you are struggling with breast milk production for nursing or pumping, you are not alone. From one nursing mama to another… you’ve got this! And Bessie’s is here to help.

Bessie’s Best started when one struggling, yet determined mama, Jen, refused to give up on breastfeeding because of low milk supply. It wasn’t until baby #2 and a lot of education that she learned the amazing benefits of lactation cookies. With a toddler in tow, they started baking and sharing their own homemade lactation cookies, without fenugreek. These cookies quickly made their way to struggling moms across the country and world.

Today, Bessie’s Best is run by an amazing team of moms just like you! Our founding mama, Jen, says it best, “The only feeling in the world better than successfully breastfeeding my baby is helping hundreds of mothers successfully breastfeed theirs.”

All of our lactation products are made without preservatives because we want the best for you and your baby. Good news, they freeze well for bulk orders!

Meet Our Founder

Once upon a time…. I was a new momma who thought breastfeeding would come easily and naturally. With my first child, I was uneducated and lacked support, but certainly not determination!  My first lasted 11 weeks, which for me was an accomplishment because of my low milk supply.

Two years later with baby #2, I was ready. Equally as determined but FAR more educated.  This time, I did my homework on low milk supply, which is much more common than I had realized. I joined nursing mom support groups. I learned the importance of ‘nursing on demand.’ Lastly, I fully utilized the lactation consultant at the local hospital’s support group to support my breastfeeding goals: latching, tips, and more.  Despite my readiness for breastfeeding with my second baby, I still struggled with low milk supply!  I agonized weekly to my mommy-friends in my group and that was my first introduction to  lactation cookies

After my lactation consultant recommended buying cookies, I instead decided to make them myself. Luckily, I had an active and involved two-year-old who loved to help mommy. We started to experiment in the kitchen with our own milk-making cookies. My baking assistant (aka my 2-year-old) was ready to help- dump, mix, stir and bake.  These cookies were not only delicious, but they worked!  Soon my friends wanted some.  And then their friends.  Eventually, someone suggested that I should put it on Facebook to be able to help even more moms and…

Bessie’s Best was Born!

Now, I am a mom of three amazing kids. Our Bessie’s Best team is better than ever. We are moms, grandmoms and future moms that choose to be here for moms every day.
