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

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.

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!

I 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

Dr. Canale and her team are very responsive and seem to genuinely care about helping breast feeding moms achieve optimal breast milk health. Would highly recommend to all breastfeeding moms!

I just have to say that this is by far the best purchase! I have always worried if my baby is getting enough from my milk! Dr Stephanie is an angel! due to shipping delays, my sample arrived late to them but she did everything to rush it! I received the results within a few days and now I know what I need to supplement on so that my baby receives the best milk possible!

I loved the experience of using Lactation Lab. I’m on an extremely restrictive diet due to baby allergies, so I was concerned about certain vitamin and nutrient levels in my breastmilk. Sending the sample was straightforward, and the results were both easy to interpret and extremely helpful. I feel a lot more confident that with a few dietary changes and some specific supplements suggested by Dr. Canale, my baby will get the most nourishing breastmilk possible from me, while I feel my best. This company is doing something really empowering.

This kit was very easy to use and the results were turned around to me so quickly. If you are curious/worried about the quality of your breast milk, this kit will give you peace of mind. Stephanie’s email with the results were easy to understand and is very personalized. This was worth the money and I recommend this kit highly to all new moms

Finally I could shut those people up. Those people refers to anyone who told me to switch to formula because it has more calories. My results showed that my milk actually had more calories than formula, so there! The results were extremely informative and I appreciated that they were written personally for me. Not a canned response. I also got them in a very timely manner. Its nice to have someone to talk to there when I reached out to customer service. All in all, I am so glad I finally splurged to do this test because the results were very telling.

I had a great experience with my Lactation Lab kit. It was easy to send my sample and I got the results quickly. The results were paired with clear action items, like which supplements to take (in my case it was iron, C, and B12). Overall this was a straightforward way to evaluate my nutrition and improve the healthiness of my baby and me.

I 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!
