Bali Trip Lifesaver
I used this service for our Bali trip. I wanted to bring my breast milk for the plane, and when we were over there and didn't know how to make it work. Heard about you guys, bought a kit & paid for the rush fee! So amazing. I had my breast milk powder on hand while on holiday and the entire process was simple, informative and super reassuring. Will be using again :)
★★★★★
Such an amazing service!
I couldn't recommend this service enough! The girls at The Milk Fairy have been so helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond to help me out! I have a bub due in a couple of months and the girls helped me freeze my breastmilk as I couldn't breastfeed. For any cancer survivors that are in a similar situation, I highly recommend this as an option, I am so grateful I found The Milk Fairy!

I wish this existed 10 years ago!
The process was super easy and stress-free, and communication was amazing from start to finish. I'm so happy I was able to turn my liquid gold into powdered gold before it expired. As a working mum, this is going to be a total game changer for day care! No more worrying about milk going to waste or juggling freezer bags. So grateful for this service!

Game Changer
As a grandma to my 8-month-old grandson, I absolutely love this bottle warmer. It's made looking after him so much easier — no more rushing to defrost and heat breastmilk while he's crying to be fed (even easier when it's been freeze dried first). It warms in 2-3 mins, is easy to use, and gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend this to any parent or grandparent caring for a little one!

So Easy!
Such an easy process, and what an amazing way to extend the shelf life of all that hard work! I live locally so was able to book in my drop off, Jess greeted us and got straight to weighing my milk and we were quickly on our way. Jess and Tiana kept me up to date throughout the process. I had just over 8L dried and would definitely use this service again!

Incredible company!
We were moving interstate with a 3 month old from Melbourne. On our way through Geelong we realised the 2L of breast milk we were hoping to take just will not make it. In a few short hours I was in contact with the team and had it sorted. We received our shipment a few short months later along with an extremely thoughtful Christmas gift extra from them! The warmy is extremely high quality — I'm beyond impressed with their brand!

Powder back to you
Breast milk is about 87% water. We gently freeze-dry that water away, leaving 13% powder — which holds all the nutrients, antibodies and fats from your milk. Add water back, and it's the exact same milk you gave us. Nothing added, nothing lost.

Our Story
Simplifying the breastfeeding journey for the modern mum.
We're Jess, Tiana and Chris — a family-run, mama-led business built by parents who believe motherhood should be just a little bit easier. The Milk Fairy started the way a lot of brilliant things do: in the thick of mum-life, half-asleep, milk-stained, and wondering "surely there's a better way?"
