Frequently Asked Questions
How do you keep my milk separate from other customers’ milk?
Your milk is individually labelled, weighed and assigned a unique tracking ID when it arrives. Using our contact-free SafeDry® process, every bag remains physically separated throughout freeze-drying. Your milk never touches our equipment or another customer’s milk, and each order is handled and packaged separately.
How does my breast milk stay frozen during shipping?
Your prepaid overnight shipping kit uses specialised insulation designed to keep your milk frozen for considerably longer than the expected transit time; without dry ice. We monitor the shipment, and when it arrives, our team checks that your milk is frozen and undamaged before confirming receipt.
How long does the breast milk freeze-drying process take?
Processing generally takes approximately 10 working days from when we receive your milk, depending on the volume sent. Our Express service offers processing within one week. We’ll keep you updated when your milk arrives, enters processing and is shipped back to you.
How much freeze-dried breast milk powder will I receive?
Freeze-drying removes approximately 90% of the milk’s weight as water. For example, 150 ml of frozen breast milk typically becomes around 15 g of powder. Your personalised pouch label explains exactly how much water to add to return it to its original volume.
How long does freeze-dried breast milk last?
Unopened Nourishy pouches have a validated shelf life of up to three years from the freeze-drying date when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, use Single-Feed powder within three days and resealed Multi-Feed powder within 30 days.
Does freeze-drying preserve the nutrients in breast milk?
Freeze-drying removes water while helping preserve the nutritional and bioactive properties of breast milk. Nourishy’s testing has found no significant reduction in key macronutrients, including protein, fat, carbohydrates and calories. You can explore the supporting evidence on our Freeze-Drying Research page.
These operational details align with Nourishy’s currently published process and FAQ information. Nourishy FAQs Research has also found that lyophilisation did not significantly change human milk’s bactericidal activity compared with frozen storage.
