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!

The kit came quickly and with very simple yet thorough instructions. I received my results via an email from Stephanie. She was polite and to the point with my milk results. She offered suggestions on optimizing my milk content which I appreciated. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who needs a peace of mind on their milk quality or is interested on how to improve their supply.

This test is straight forward and easy to use, the recommendations with the results are very insightful and feel personal. I am a vegetarian and was curious to see if my breastmilk was running low on anything, while I am mostly pleased with my results, I was lacking in some areas. I am glad a test like this this is available to the public. I highly recommend this test.

Loved this experience! Easy to mail sample. Results laid out so well. Additional information given with results including a support group and links to products.

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!

I tested my breastmilk and as a new mom, it was so nice to know that my baby was getting enough calories/oz and that many of my levels were perfect. BUT - what was most helpful was knowing that I was low in iron & DHA. So now I know what to increase in my diet & get back to taking my DHA supplement that I took during pregnancy. I highly recommend this for new moms who want to have peace of mind about their breastmilk!

I ordered this kit because I was really curious to see what my baby was getting for nutrition from my milk. We exclusively breastfeed as I have with all my children. This was my 2nd kit! I ordered my first one with my last baby. If you reorder for the same child or subsequent children, they give you a discount code, which is already a huge plus in my book. The kit is very easy to use and comes with very clear and easy instructions. But what I was most impressed with was the customer service! The results come in an e mail directly from one of the owners. I love that they deliver the information personally instead of just setting up some basic automated e mail with your results plugged in. She not only gives you your results but she explains everything and gives you recommendations and suggestions if need be. When I read my e mail results it happened to be late at night, I was concerned about a few things with my results so I ended up e mailing her back right away with my questions. I was expecting to hear back from her at some point within the next few days. To my surprise, she e mailed me back right away! It was within 10 minutes. I was blown away! It truly goes to show how much they care for their customers. She could easily just have ignored me with the typical Im not working right now mindset. She was fantastic in answering my questions and making me feel better. She also had great suggestions for me. I cannot speak highly enough about this company and their breastmilk test kits. Thank you so much lactation lab!!!

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.

Great, easy to do testing with informative results. Was able to tweak my intake / supplements to improve my milk. Look forward to re testing.

Loved the e mail I received going over the results and found the whole process easy and informative. There’s so much anxiety that can come up around breastfeeding and every little bit of support counts. This test is a great way to learn more about nutrition and to feel better about breastfeeding without feeling too obsessive or confused.
