Shownotes

Episode 122 is about a method of storing breast milk that isn't well-known among the mom community or many others — freeze drying.

Freeze-drying breast milk is a well-studied, clinically proven alternative to milk storage and transportation that empowers breastfeeding mothers. 

In this episode, you’ll meet Tirza Jova, the founder of Milk by Mom LLC, a breast milk freeze-drying service located in Phoenix, AZ. 


As a busy mom with two young daughters, she knows the decisions and sacrifices breastfeeding women face because she navigated them daily. Now, she helps educate moms and caregivers nationwide about the convenience and flexibility freeze-drying provides while maintaining breast milk's benefits and security through her freeze-drying business.


Freeze-drying preserves breast milk's nutritional, immunological, and probiotic components. It offers nutrition benefits and convenience by delivering flexibility and peace of mind, and it has a three-year shelf life. 


You don’t risk wasting your breast milk or battling for freezer space when you freeze-dry. And whether you have to return to work while breastfeeding, navigate TSA and travel, or have a supply available for other caregivers, your nutritionally dense breast milk is available!


Key Takeaways:

  • Breast milk freeze-drying preserves all the nutrients and antibodies, making it a superior option to traditional freezing. 
  • Freeze-dried breast milk offers the convenience of formula while providing the benefits of breast milk. 
  • It’s a great option for moms with an oversupply of breast milk, moms with high lipase, and moms who want to have breast milk on hand for travel or other situations. 
  • Using freeze-dried breast milk can enhance food caloric content and offer additional benefits beyond the infant years. 
  • As a mom and entrepreneur, juggling life requires creating non-negotiables, practicing self-care, and giving oneself grace.
