Can you transform your breast milk from liquid to shelf-stable powder? Leche can!

While I was at the Prego Expo, I discovered the coolest product. I approached a Leche booth, thinking that it was another baby formula brand. It had a bright-colored and pretty booth, so I approached. 

Leche was not a regular baby formula company, though. It's a service that transforms your breast milk from liquid to shelf-stable powder! 

Storing breast milk is a delicate business, and traveling with it is even more challenging. I was immediately intrigued and understood how much more convenient it would be to travel with powder-form breast milk, instead of liquid pouches. 

Leche freeze-dries your own breast milk and transforms it into a shelf-stable powder with a 3-year shelf life. As far as I know, freeze-drying is one of the best methods for maximizing nutrient preservation. I've made countless batches of freeze-dried dog treats, so I know! 

You can send your breast milk to Leche using its custom shipping kit with a pharmaceutical-grade cooler. 

It ensures that your breast milk stays fresh until it reaches the processing center. 

Once processed, Leche will ship your liquid gold (now in powder!) back to you in a food-grade resealable pouch and pre-measured 5g serving scoop. 

Or if you're a frequent traveler, you can get your powdered breast milk in 20-25 heat-sealed, individual sachets (10g).  

It's the best of both worlds - the convenience of formula and the nutrients of breast milk. What kind of alien technology is this? 

These are the pouches for you to collect your breast milk.

Once turned into a powder form, your breast milk can be prepared like any other formula! Ingenious! 

I can't wait to use this service once the baby's here.
