- Studies demonstrate that freeze drying breastmilk has minimal effects on nutrient composition, making it just as viable as fresh or frozen breastmilk. Wanna learn more? Visit our research page.
Nutrition
- Freeze-dried breastmilk is an ultra-convenient alternative to formula or frozen milk and research has shown lyophization to have no significant impacts on overall caloric density, amino acids, total fat, fatty acids (EPA and AA), prebiotics (HMOs), glycoproteins, lysozyme and more!
- A minor reduction was observed in vitamin C, IgA, IgG and IgM when comparing fresh to freeze-dried breastmilk.
Multipurpose
- Freeze-dried breastmilk can be used in a variety of different ways and at several different ages! For younger babies, it can be prepared in a bottle or used to enhance nutrition (while simultaneously promoting milk supply and bonding) in a supplemental nursing system.
- Babies over six months of age can get their Montessori on and sip it from an open cup or enjoy the powdered milk on slippery foods when doing baby-led weaning. Are purées more your speed? No problem. Mix the powder into oatmeal or organic apple sauce to easily pack an extra nutritional punch!
