Munchkin created its infant formula to bring the same innovation, design leadership,
and parent-first thinking that families already trust across the brand’s nearly 40-year history. After a decade of research and development, Munchkin developed its patented Nurture 10 Blend to offer a formula built with purpose, proof, and clinical validation. Designed to help reduce GI discomfort.

Yes. Munchkin conducted a 16-week, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial with 260 infants. Babies fed Munchkin formula experienced significantly less fussiness and gas, soft stools, and healthy growth, including greater daily length gain versus the control formula. Moderate gastrointestinal side effects were more than 2x higher in the control formula compared to Munchkin (20.8% vs. 9.7%).

Munchkin formula is produced in a state-of-the-art infant-nutrition facility in Canada, one of the newest and most advanced in North America. Built in 2019, it was designed specifically for infant formula — with cutting-edge hygienic zoning, air handling, automation, and safety systems. The facility is fully registered and regularly inspected by the FDA and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

Our formula is produced in a purpose-built infant formula facility where every step – milk reception, pasteurization, drying, blending, filling and packaging – happens under one roof, allowing full lot traceability and consistency. Every can meets both US and Canadian safety standards. Each batch goes through cGMP and Preventative Control programs and quality checks before heading your way. In addition to food-safety programs, we perform rigorous safety and quality tests to ensure products are free from harmful pathogens and heavy metals, including specific testing for Clostridium botulinum (C.bot), the bacteria responsible for infant botulism, and Cronobacter.

There is no cause for concern. Munchkin formulas are made using a unique nutrient‑blending approach, and while all infant formulas contain iron, the way minerals are combined can sometimes make harmless residue a bit more visible. What you’re seeing can happen when leftover formula sits out after a feeding. It’s the result of natural reactions in the bottle over time, not an issue with the formula itself. It can also happen from bottle to bottle depending on how the formula was prepared or how much the bottle was shaken during feeding. Importantly, this does not indicate spoilage, contamination, or a safety or quality concern with the formula itself.
A few simple tips can prevent this discoloration:

• Use warm water (~100F) to prepare bottles—mixing with warm water helps the formula dissolve more easily
• Only prepare what you need
• Rinse bottles soon after use
• Give the bottle a gentle swirl if feeding is paused to help reduce residue
• Avoid leaving a used bottle out for more than about an hour
• Toss leftover formula after each feeding

Munchkin Lactation Cookie Bites, bars, and teas are a great snack for anyone. Only lactating mothers will reap the benefits of lactation support.

Until you have your baby, Munchkin Lactation Cookie Bites, bars, and teas are just a great snack. Many moms have them in hand close to their delivery date, and continue to use them throughout their feeding journey. Munchkin Lactation Cookie Bites won’t help with milk production until you are lactating.

Yes you can!

You can have Munchkin Lactation products whenever you feel like it. Many of our moms find it helpful to setup a schedule to ensure they are eating or drinking Munchkin Lactation snacks consistently to support lactation.

One serving of Munchkin Lactation snacks and supplements a day can help breastfeeding moms reap the full benefits. However, every mom responds differently; it takes trial and error to see what works best for you. Our cookies and drink mixes help a lot of of moms throughout their feeding journey, but they may not work for everyone. At Munchkin, we have a range of products to help make feeding a little easier for you and your little one. For lactation support, we recommend contacting a lactation consultant or speaking with your health care provider.

Most Munchkin Lactation products are fenugreek free. There are lots of great fenugreek based lactation products and supplements on the market, but we offer cookie flavors without fenugreek, as some moms prefer to not use fenugreek and choose other galactogogues. Our Lactation Drink Mix does contain fenugreek if you want to try a supplement that has fenugreek in it.

Milkmakers Lactation Cookie Bites DO contain gluten. The bars are gluten free and made in a facility that is totally gluten free and doesn’t use any gluten. The ingredients in our tea are free of gluten, but there is a very small chance that some gluten may come in contact with our finished tea bags.

The gloves used during manufacturing of Munchkin lactation products are latex free.

This may be a result of the weight of too many diapers being placed in the bag so you may want to try placing fewer diapers in the pail. If the problem persists, it may be a result of some baking soda that has accidentally spilled into the gear system. This can easily be remedied by flushing warm water through the pail and allowing it to completely dry before using again.
