BENEFITS OF FREEZE-DRYING BREAST MILK
FREEZER SPACE
Freeze-drying requires no refrigeration or freezer storage.
SHELF-LIFE
Breast milk powder (vacuum sealed in high barrier mylar bags) is
shelf-stable for 3+ years.
HIGH LIPASE
Freeze-drying prevents the bad taste caused by lipase activity during freezer storage.
FORTIFICATION
Your freeze-dried breast milk powder can be added to your expressed breast milk to increase the caloric content.
NUTRITION
Freeze-drying is a better way to preserve the nutritional, immunological, and probiotic components of breast milk. Rehydrate into milk again or add breast milk powder to solid foods to give them a nutritional boost.
PROTECTION
Freeze-drying breast milk protects it from loss during a power outage or natural disaster.
TRANSPORTATION
Freeze-dried breast milk makes transporting breast milk during travel easier and more convenient. Breast milk powder is TSA-safe! Transporting and saving breast milk from a surrogate/donor is also made much easier in powdered form.
CONVENIENCE
Freeze-drying breast milk as you pump is a great way to stockpile in preparation for transitioning back to the workplace. Breast milk powder is easy for caretakers to use when mom is away.
