What Are The Benefits of Freeze-Dried Breast Milk?
What are the benefits of freeze-drying breast milk? Freeze drying breast milk is the ultimate solution to protecting and preserving your breast milk. Freeze-dried breast milk not only provides the best storage option, but also protects your breast milk from any nutritional degradation. The process of freeze-drying preserves the carbohydrates, lipids and protein in your breast milk! How amazing is that?
Additionally there are several benefits of freeze-dried breast milk. However, the one benefit we have received the greatest feedback on is how convenient it is. Freeze drying allows you to eliminate the requirement to keep your breast milk in a temperature-controlled environment. In comparison, powder breast milk provides you all the same benefits as formula. Your freeze-dried breast milk powder is 100% travel friendly, eliminating the hassle of traveling through TSA checkpoints within the airport! At Booby-Licious, our powder packs will easily fit into your diaper bag and/or purse and will take up minimal space!
Another benefit is the extended shelf life of your breast milk once it has been through the freeze-drying process. Research shows that frozen breast milk has an expiration for upto 12 months when stored in a freezer. Furthermore, it is important to note the nutritional retention decreases the longer your breast milk stays in the freezer. As mothers who dedicate their time and energy to breastfeeding/pumping, we all know the nutrients provided in breast milk is one of the main reasons we chose to feed our babies this way. Thankfully, the freeze-drying process allows our breast milk to retain all of its nutrients without any degradation, meanwhile it is shelf stable and completely safe to use for THREE plus years!
Lastly, a highly asked question we often receive is in regards to high lipase! During the process of freeze-drying, the active enzyme that causes high lipase becomes inactive through the removal of water during the freeze-drying process.
