Lactation Lab Breast Milk Nutritional Analysis Kit - Standard: Tests for Calories, Carbohydrates, Protein, Fat, Calcium, Iron, Vitamins A, C and B-12.

It was so interesting to find out the nutritional contents of my milk! Although it’s a hefty price tag for some, I considered it worth the investment considering this is my baby’s exclusive food for the first 6 months, and I plan to continue breastfeeding for at least a year. Since I’m not paying for formula (which would add up to way more), why not invest in finding out how my milk contents measure up? I was happy to find out some of my levels were great, and surprised to find out some were low (like vitamin C and iron, even though I take supplements for both!). I also found out the caloric count was a little low... which makes sense because, as a new mom, it’s been hard for me to find time to consistently eat! I wouldn’t have had any idea about the areas in need of improvement without these results... and I’m very grateful to have them. I also appreciate Dr. Canales’ emphasis... that this isn’t about finding out what’s wrong with your milk; it’s about optimizing your milk for your baby. As much as I was a little bummed that my milk wasn’t “perfect” in terms of levels, I’ve kept that perspective in mind— this is about optimizing the nutritional content for my little one. She also included personalized recommendations based on the results, and she’s available to answer questions. Glad I got this done— it’s worth it for my little guy’s health and giving him the best possible, healthiest start to life!

So grateful for this kit. My baby was labeled as failure to thrive and I️ feel like it armed me with knowledge about my milk nutritional content. I really liked the personal recommendations for optimizing my nutrient intake. My providers all felt comfortable with the process and analysis. It truly gave me the confidence and helped relieve some of the guilt I️ was feeling because my baby wasn’t growing as expected. Still breastfeeding 3 months later and baby is hanging in there size wise, just small.

Im blown away. I knew what this test would do, but seeing your personal results really solidified the value of this test. I recently became vegetarian and this test served as a reminder to be more intentional about my protein and certain vitamin intake. Really loved this.

Very pleased with my purchase. My baby is slow to gain weight so it is great to know (and provide the physician) that your milk is perfect (logically I already knew this but love the scientific backing). I received my results and incredibly personalized recommendations by email just 2 days after the sample was received by the lab. I would 100% do this again!

Not only do you get a full report on your milk but they take the time to hand write a summary and provide a link to supplements to help with not only milk but your overall health.

I was so thankful to have the opportunity to check out the composition of my milk as I was trying to figure out why my baby was fussy. It could be the flow of milk or it could be that I didn’t have enough fat content. I was able to rule our the composition thanks to the Lactation Lab. It’s a whole process of trial and error and this product helps you evaluate your milk composition, which is one of the few things that you have the option of testing.

The results were so comprehensive and so insightful into where my nutrition and supplementation was lacking. After receiving the results, I knew exactly where the gaps were I needed to fill. I plan on retesting now that its been over 4 weeks after adding in what I was missing.

Dr. Canale contacted me herself and explained my lab results thoroughly. She also gave recommendations as how to increase the Calcium and B12 in my breast milk and what foods to eat so that I can provide the best quality milk for my little one possible. The milk collection kit itself was also easy to use. When it comes to being a Mum and worrying about your baby’s food source, I am happy to have Lactation Lab available to me, to give me valuable information about the quality of my breast milk. M.

This product/ service is so well-designed, I couldn’t have created something better myself! We have been having weight gain issues with my 4 mo old, my husband and I actually googled this bc we were talking about how cool it would be if a company like this existed and sure enough, here it is! Exactly how we would have designed it too! It’s so easy to use and offers such great peace of mind! I am a clinical dietitian, so I am totally nerding out on all of this data and will definitely be recommending it to others. Thanks again for creating such a fabulous product and service, much appreciated, especially after I had one lactation consultant tell me I likely had “skinny latte” milk and that was likely the cause for my child’s lack of weight gain. Always fun to be blamed as a mom, right? I was able to see that my milk was in fact the appropriate level of kcals. I was also able to find out about vitamins and minerals and I did make some changes with my diet and vitamins accordingly.

I cant say enough good things about Lactation Lab. They sent me my results very quickly, and provided a detailed report about any deficiencies, as well as recommendations on how to improve the quality of milk. I am very appreciative of their tele-health program. Thank you, Stephanie!
