How to Turn Breast Milk into Powder – Milkify

Extending breast milk's life without losing nutrition: how freeze-drying since the 1950s has made it as portable as infant formula.
Breast milk has long been known as the gold standard of infant nutrition. It's densely packed with all the essential nutrients that a baby needs for optimal growth and development.  But because it is a living food, breast milk requires frozen storage to remain safe over the long term. And once frozen, it’s best used within 6 months (up to 1 year at most) due to the slow decline in nutritional quality.  But what if we could extend the expiration of breast milk, making it as portable and convenient as infant formula? And what if there was a way to do so with little to no impact to its nutritional value? Not only is this possible, human milk donor banks have been doing this since the 1950s. The answer lies in converting frozen breast milk into powdered form through a process called freeze-drying, or lyophilization.
