> 24 hourI 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!

> 24 hourWhat an amazing wonderful service!!!! So grateful for you guys! Im vegan and the second somebody finds out that you dont eat meat they all become nutrition experts (eye roll) tends to make moms really insecure. Lactation Lab was able to adjust their recommendations to our lifestyle choices, for example to us DHA that they recommended was plant based. The overall experience of sending the package was great and simple.

> 24 hourI am so happy that I purchased Lactation Labs kit. I was following a Vegan diet and my doctors were concerned my breast milk wouldnt have the protein and fat content necessary to feed my baby. After taking the test, I saw that my numbers in those categories exceeded average, and it gave me and my medical team peace of mind. I also saw that I was lower in B12 and Iron, which I am now supplementing into my diet. I would 100% recommend everyone test their breast milk to know how they can best support the health of their babies!

> 24 hourIm 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.

> 24 hourThis is an excellent test kit. Instructions are easy to follow and send back. The results are great as well. Stephanie writes you a detailed email with your results letting you know if there is something you can improve on. I am actually going to re test in the future to see if I got the results I wanted ! Just a couple things to work on. It’s nice to have a peace of mind and know that my baby is getting quality milk.

> 24 hourI had an amazing experience. It’s a great way to have peace of mind and make sure you are giving your baby the best possible nutrition. The world we live in today is full of contamination and toxins in food and water so this test kit is a good option to see where you stand and how you can adjust your diet to better your health and of course your baby’s. I had a great experience with the team! They get back to you right away via text and email and the email and results are very informative. I would highly recommend it to my friends and family.

> 24 hourI 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!

> 24 hourI came about Lactation lab when I was looking for ways to check the quality of my breastmilk. I was feeling a little low as my baby had reflux issues and a sensitive stomach. I was being told by multiple well-wishers to just switch to formula as it was consistent at every feed and probably more nutritious than my breastmilk. I am a lacto-ovo-vegetarian but cutting diary off because of baby’s reflux issues. As it can be seen, with my dietary restrictions I was concerned if I was doing the right thing for the baby. As a scientifically inclined person, I was ecstatic to see that there was a place that answers all my questions quantitatively. So off I went to their website and bought the mid-range kit. The processing and shipping were amazingly fast. I sent the sample right away and was eagerly waiting for the results. I was super excited to know that my breastmilk actually had more calories than formula! The report was very well detailed in each section. It confirmed the doubts I had about certain deficiencies due to my diet. Dr. Stephanie Canale’s analysis, description, and suggestions were rather enlightening. I had no idea that ADA advises B12 supplements for vegetarians!! Attached is a snapshot of the report. The Lactation Lab results gave me the confidence that my breastmilk was nutritious enough for my baby. It helped me and our family understand why it was ok that the baby was consuming less volume when compared to his formula-fed peers. I will be sure to make the changes and retest in a couple of months.

> 24 hourI really liked the insurance that my milk at the end of that content and carbs! It assured me as a mom that I am providing just want my baby needs to be healthy and for her development. The response was very tired and the feedback I received was great to help increase certain deficiencies. I strongly recommend
