Milk Maker is not recommended during pregnancy or for those with diabetes, hypoglycaemia or uncontrolled blood sugar levels or those on insulin or blood sugar lowering medications. We suggest speaking to your healthcare practitioner first before taking Milk Maker if you have any of these conditions.
One of the main herbs in Milk Maker, Fenugreek, is known to have a distinctively sweet, maple syrup-like smell. Some people may notice after taking Milk Maker for a period of time that their sweat or urine begins to take on this maple syrup smell. This is a normal reaction.
Fenugreek and Goat’s Rue are also known to lower blood sugar levels, therefore Milk Maker is not recommended for diabetics or those taking insulin or blood sugar lowering medications.
We do not recommend taking Milk Maker while taking insulin or blood sugar lowering medication. Herbs such as Fenugreek and Goats Rue can have hypoglycaemic effects, so they are best avoided while on these medications.
Milk Maker is not recommended during pregnancy. As Milk Maker is designed for supporting breast milk, we recommend that it is only taken once you have started breast feeding and have sought advice from your healthcare professional.
Yes! Consuming enough protein each day and staying well hydrated are both important to support optimal milk supply. Adding one of our protein powders to your favourite smoothie or simply water is a quick, fuss-free way to support protein and energy intake while breastfeeding.
Hydration is just as important. Breastfeeding increases your fluid needs, and water alone isn’t always enough to replace the electrolytes lost each day. Adding electrolytes can help support more effective hydration. Pairing with our Hydrate⁴ Electrolytes is a simple way to replenish the key minerals your body uses daily.
No, Milk Maker is free of gluten, dairy, nuts, soy and GMOs.
While every Mum is different, you should start to see results within as little as 1-3 days.
Once your milk volume has increased and at a steady supply, you can stop taking Milk Maker or reduce the dose to every other day. It is important to remember that breast milk is produced on a “supply and demand” basis. Therefore, you will need to remove milk from your breasts via frequent feeding or pumping to maintain your increased supply.
Yes! Milk Maker is 100% plant-based and is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. Milk Maker contains natural herbs in a vegan friendly vege capsule.
Milk Maker is a convenient, one-a-day capsule formulation. This makes it ideal for busy Mums that don’t have a lot of time to whip up a batch of lactation cookies or have their hands free (or the time) to feed themselves or brew a hot cup of tea!
Lactation cookies can also often be filled with additional sugar, flavourings and extra calories that some people may prefer to avoid. While breastfeeding teas are another option, the nature of galactagogue herbs can be quite bitter tasting and often require several cups over the day to produce therapeutic effects. When you’re a busy Mum, a hot (and entire) cup of tea can become a thing of the past. Two Islands Milk Maker therefore makes it simple – just one capsule a day is all you need to support your supply.

What the experts say
I’m a midwife and was recently sent some samples of Milk Maker to share with my patients. I’ve been advising patients to take fenugreek for some time to help boost milk supply but Milk Maker has been a game changer for a number of my patients. Everyone I’ve shared the samples with has gone on to purchase the product, it’s been that well received! So thanks for helping me help my mums & babies ❤️
Your breastfeeding support
Breastfeeding doesn’t always come naturally. Many mothers struggle with milk supply, especially in the first few weeks of life with a newborn, which can cause added stress at an already overwhelming time. Milk Maker is specially formulated to support healthy milk supply and volume for busy breastfeeding mums and thriving babies.
With natural, galactagogue herbs in an easy to take, one-a-day capsule, Milk Maker is a quick and convenient option for busy mums and a fast and effective way to support optimal breast milk production.
There are a number of reasons why breast milk supply may be affected. These include:
- Infrequent or short feedings
- An incomplete latch
- Stress
- Some medications such as antihistamines or oral contraceptives
- Health conditions
- Premature birth
- Previous breast surgery or trauma
