Our Story
Juli's Lactation Cookie Company bakes delicious cookies to support a mother's lactation journey & for each box sold, a donation is made to breastfeeding education in North America.
* A note from our founder Lisa *
When I had my baby in 2018, I had trouble breastfeeding like many women I knew. I was so frustrated that I researched everything and anything I could do to help increase my milk supply and breastfeed my newborn son.
My friend Holly gave me her recipe but I was way too tired to bake anything especially while recovering from a c-section delivery.
I couldn't find the cookies on the shelves in Canada so packed up baby one day and drove to the US to buy them (that's what Mamas do- anything to feed their babies!)
Upon my return to visit my team at the bakery I had owned and operated for many years, my head baker looked at me incredulously and said, 'you own a bakery, why don't we make these for you??"
And bingo, my team at Le Dolci whipped up a delicious batch for me and my cookie baby was born!
As I began to share the cookies with my mom-networks, word spread and with some government funding the cookies won 'most innovative product' at our first trade show in 2019. Since then we've worked hard to bring our cookies to more mamas, and we are now on the shelves of some of Canada's most prestigious retailers.
I hope you enjoy the cookies as much as we enjoy making them for all of the wonderful mamas out there.
What I am most excited about is giving back, I want every mama to feel supported in this vulnerable time of their life. For each box sold, a portion of profit will be donated to support breastfeeding education in North America. This is something I feel so strongly about as it's so needed I'd love to end the stigmas associated with breastfeeding and give moms the confidence to breastfeed anywhere and everywhere without any external commentary.
Enjoy.
