Nourishy’s freeze-dried breastmilk powder is an excellent option for parents seeking a versatile, convenient way to provide breastmilk’s benefits to their babies and children.

Why Freeze-Dried Breastmilk?

Freeze-drying breastmilk preserves its nutrients, enzymes and immune-boosting properties, making it more versatile and longer-lasting than traditional freezing. It offers flexibility for parents and allows children at different stages to benefit from the unique properties of breastmilk in a variety of ways.

Here’s how to use your powdered breastmilk at different stages:

• For Babies

Rehydration for Bottle Feeding: Prepare by adding purified water to a sterilised bottle, then carefully add the powder. To prevent clumping, you may need to warm the water beforehand.

Nourishy’s recommended powder-to-water ratio ensures milk consistency is back to its original form.

The instructions provided on your personalised bag label ensure that the powder rehydrates to the original consistency of your breastmilk.

Remember to pour the water first and then add the powder. Too much water may not meet the nutritional needs of your baby. Too little water may cause your baby’s kidneys and digestive system to work too hard and may cause your baby to become dehydrated.

Warm the bottle by holding it under a stream of warm running water, ensuring water does not enter the bottle or touch the nipple. Alternatively, you can employ a bottle warmer or place the sealed bottle in a bowl of warm waterp. Avoid allowing the bottle nipple to come into contact with the water during warming.

Avoid using a microwave, as this can create uneven heating and reduce nutrients. Instead, warm the bottle under running warm water and test the temperature before feeding.

Safe Storage Tips: Once rehydrated, use the milk within two hours or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Avoid refreezing rehydrated milk or saving milk left over from a feeding, as this can introduce bacteria.

• For Toddlers

As babies grow, breastmilk powder can be incorporated into their diets in new ways, especially when solid foods are introduced:

Nutrient Boost for Solid Foods: Sprinkle the powder into foods like oatmeal, yogurt, or mashed fruits for an extra nutrient boost. Just add a small amount to your toddler’s favourite foods to enhance nutritional value without drastically changing the taste or texture.

Preparation Tips: Blend the powder well into the food to ensure smooth consistency and prevent inhalation of dry powder. Use a resealed pouch for freshness, as moisture can cause bacteria to grow.

• For Older Kids

While Nourishy’s breastmilk powder is designed for babies and toddlers, it can also be an enriching supplement for older children, particularly those who may benefit from the immune-boosting properties of breastmilk.

Easy Add-In for Snacks: Stir a small amount into smoothies, cereal or even baked goods for added nutrition. This makes it a convenient way to supplement daily meals with essential nutrients as children grow and their nutritional needs change.

Convenience for Families on the Go: The powder’s portability makes it a convenient option for travel or busy days, allowing kids of various ages to benefit from its high-quality nutrients retained in freeze dried breastmilk.
