Freeze-dried breast milk is said to last up to three years compared with six to 12 months if it is frozen. Breast milk powder is also easier to store and more convenient to use. Meet Jolene Tan, the mumpreneur offering this service to breastfeeding mothers at Wonderbewbz.
To many breastfeeding mothers, breast milk is liquid gold. And this is not just because of its nutritional value and immunological properties for the baby.to build their breast milk stash – to express enough breast milk for their babies, many mothers pump at work or into the wee hours.
According to Tan and other such companies around the world, this process is said to extend the shelf life of breast milk to three years. It also makes it easier to store one’s breast milk stash without bulky freezers – and easier to offer to babies without the lengthy thawing process or bottle warmers.In the freeze-drying process, breast milk is removed from lactation storage bags while still frozen, placed on trays, and loaded into the freeze-dryer so that moisture can be drawn out of the milk.
If their baby can’t finish the milk in time, it slowly expires and gets dumped, and they feel so much heart pain to throw it all away.into moisture-proof, lightproof and waterproof sachets, which can be easily mixed with water of up to 40 degrees Celsius. The breast milk powder can also be added directly to food such as oats, cereal or dessert. These sachets have a shelf life of up to three years.
“Breast milk contains an enzyme called lipase which helps your baby digest it more easily. This enzyme causes the smell and taste of the breast milk to be altered after it is thawed because of the temperature change. Health experts such as Canada’s Alberta Health Services pointed out that “freeze-drying does not remove bacteria and viruses present in human milk” and that “contamination during handling remains a potential concern”.
“I can get a courier to pick up and deliver the breast milk , but I choose to do this myself because I know that breast milk is so precious, I want to ensure it is handled properly and arrives safely,” she said.
