> 3 dayAbsolutely loved this service. Got the results back very fast with a great recap. Should have done earlier in my breastfeeding journey. I tested when my daughter was around 5 months. Highly recommend to any moms who are curious about the quality of their milk.

> 3 dayMy pediatrician told us to supplement with formula as the LO wasnt gaining enough weight and we thought it was due to low calories in my milk. Now I know it must be the latch and we can fix it or at least she can be fully on pumped breast milk with no supplementation necessary. The service also provided guidance on which vitamins Im low on so that the LO will get the proper nutrients. All you have to do is send a sample of frozen milk taken from different feedings/ pumping sessions throughout the day back to them and youll receive the results in an email a few days later.

21-11-2024Im 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.

> 3 dayI eat a nutritious and balanced diet but I have malabsorption and was worried about the quality of my milk. I was happy to find that milk testing is possible and very easy to do. Everything was simple and straightforward as far as doing the test. Dr. Canale assured me that the overall quality of my milk was good but I was actually sad to find that my malabsorption is affecting my milk to some degree. But that is something I needed to know for my babys sake. I have been taking the additional supplements that were reccomended as well as a few others that my doctor reccomended when I brought the results in to him. After doing the retest the vitamin A in my milk is now at a healthy level so that was good to see. The calcium is still optimal and that was reassuring. But some of the other vitamins had gotten lower in spite of supplementing. So I am following up with my doctor for additional help in making sure my baby and I get the nutrients we need. As we get him more and more nutrients he is tending to sleep better most nights and he continues to thrive. Although overall my baby was thriving and my health is fairly good this did teach me some things about my health and my baby and I are doing better as a result. Additionally my baby has benign sleep jerks that had become worse. An EEG confirmed that they are not seizure related. We have found that even though they are still present, they are improving significantly as we increase his nutrition. I am very happy to have gotten my milk tested even though my test results were less than perfect, because in my case it opened my eyes to potential nutritional deficiencies and hopefully before they caused a major issue for my baby. Im also glad that I got the retest because it let me know that some things had improved whereas other areas still needed some tweaking. I would highly reccomend getting the nutritional content of your milk tested if you can and lactation lab makes it simple. I would love to see them test for more vitamins. This is a very nice service to breastfeeding moms!

> 3 dayI have been breastfeeding my baby for almost 6 months and any mothers that have ever done this know how challenging it can be! There’s always the question of “is it enough or good enough for my baby?!” Also, I’m a full time working mother and with pumping, my supply isn’t overly abundant, so it’s even more challenging. This answered so many of my questions! Yes, my milk is good enough for my baby. I probably need to eat more and also get more vitamins and nutrients. So I highly recommend this! Dr. Canale wrote me a nice message with a lot of details and I loved the report I got. It was worth it for me to do! I intend to breastfeed for as long as my body will let me, hopefully 6 more months!
