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 :)

GAME CHANGER
My experience with The Milk Fairy has been nothing short of amazing. We are travelling to Italy next week to get married. Having my expressed breast milk in powder form takes the stress off me having to pump enough before the wedding day, and also allows my partner to give our baby a bottle easily on the plane. A game changer! The girls at The Milk Fairy were fantastic and made the whole process very easy. Thank you for making modern motherhood more manageable!
★★★★★
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 breast donor milk as I can't breastfeed due to having a double mastectomy. 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!
★★★★★
Perfect for travel
As a breastfeeding mum, in the back of my mind was my frozen breastmilk, that was expiring soon. When I found Milk Fairy, I knew this was the solution, especially with my upcoming travel. This made it so easy on the plane for our night flight and when we got to the hotel. Highly recommended! Customer service was also fantastic and answered all questions promptly.
★★★★★
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!
★★★★★
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!
★★★★★
Seamless process!
I decided to get my breastmilk freeze dried, and the process was so seamless! I ordered the wrong package and got in contact with Jessica, and she was so quick to help and amend everything so easily and fuss free. The WHOLE process from drop off to collection was done so easy, you knew what was happening every step of the way. I definitely would recommend and I'll definitely be coming back!
★★★★★
10/10!
10/10 thank you Milk Fairy for a great experience freeze drying 14 litres of my breast milk!
★★★★★
So handy!
So handy having a company that offers freeze drying locally. Seamless drop off and pick up!
★★★★★
Honest feedback
Overall the process was clunky, the courier did not show up on the day and when I tried calling the Milk Fairy number a child picked up the phone making it difficult to speak to the spokesperson. After this was sorted the team told me I would receive a free milk warmer as an apology for the difficulties which I did not receive. I emailed them to ask whether they were in fact sending one and I never heard a response. Milk was received outside of the 6 week window as advertised as well. Unfortunate experience but customer service felt disingenuous and without proper follow up from the team I feel this review is warranted.
★★★★★
Service is AMAZING!!!
Nothing but support and love from all the team at Milk Fairy. Kept me updated at every step along the way and were very compassionate based on my circumstances. Thank you for such an amazing service.
★★★★★
An incredible service!
I have a bit of an oversupply and I didn't want my liquid gold to go to waste! The team were so friendly and informative throughout the process and now I have my milk that I can keep giving my baby girl for years to come!
★★★★★
Best thing ever invented!
As a busy mum who is usually out and about during the week, finding this made me so happy and saved my mind on whether to go onto formula for the days I'm out and busy. Definitely worth every penny and process!
★★★★★
Blown away!!
Beyond happy with my freeze dried breast milk from the Milk Fairy! They were so friendly and kept me up to date with what was happening at all stages to my milk! So incredibly grateful this business is around to help extend the life of my breastmilk!
★★★★★
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 service!
Highly recommend, communication was over and above through the whole process!
★★★★★
So easy to use when out and about
My freeze dried milk arrived the other week and we have already given it a go — so easy when out and about, and the pouches are a really handy size. I love that the life of my breastmilk has been extended, too. Thank you again!
★★★★★
Absolute lifesaver!
Milk Fairy was an absolute lifesaver when I was travelling with a newborn. They freeze dried my breast milk, preserving every drop with care and precision. Knowing it was safely stored and would retain its nutrients gave me so much peace of mind. The whole experience was seamless, supportive, and incredibly thoughtful. I can't recommend Milk Fairy enough to any breastfeeding mum on the move.
★★★★★
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!
★★★★★
Amazing
Such an amazing service. My freezer was filling up and I didn't know what I was going to do with it until I found the Milk Fairy. Can't wait to continue to use this service.
★★★★★
The perfect solution does exist!
This has been the perfect solution for managing my oversupply and limited freezer space. Since receiving the freeze-dried milk, it's been incredibly helpful to have my breastmilk available on the go — especially during the summer! It gives me peace of mind knowing my baby can still have my milk anytime, anywhere.
★★★★★
AMAZING
This service is AMAZING not only is the process super simple you are kept informed of the freeze drying process the whole way through via text & email which I absolutely loved. The final product was so convenient and easy to use especially while traveling. I will be using this service again & again.
★★★★★
100% recommend
I love the whole concept of freeze drying precious breast milk. When we booked an overseas holiday this year I thought about how I would transport my breast milk while travelling. The Milk Fairy took the extra mental load away and I'm so grateful it made travelling a little less stressful. I used the drop off service and was so impressed with the customer service and care.
★★★★★
Incredible Invention
The girls at The Milk Fairy are very professional and make the process of transforming your liquid gold into magic powder seamless, providing you with many updates along the way. This is an incredible invention to increase the shelf life of your expressed breastmilk. Our baby enjoyed his new personalised formula. Would recommend to any breastfeeding mum — if you're thinking about freeze drying, just do it!
★★★★★
10/10 if I could!
I'm still in shock that I'm able to get freeze dried breastmilk for my bub. Mind blown. The girls are highly professional and having the medical courier involved put my mind at ease with my precious liquid gold. I would give 10/10 if possible.
★★★★★
Exceeded my expectations!
From start to finish not only was my experience amazing but the end result exceeded my expectations. I had a lot of frozen milk which was about to be out of date, I sent it off to the Milk Fairy and it was returned in a small box in individual sachets! I now have milk for bub when he gets sick and even for the next baby. Big thanks to The Milk Fairy!
★★★★★
Peace of mind!
I am so happy with The Milk Fairy! I am a slight over supplier so I have milk that takes up room in my freezer. Having my milk freeze dried not only clears up space but also gives me peace of mind knowing if there is a power outage I don't lose any of my hard earned milk. My daughter is a big fan as well! She loved my rehydrated milk. Thank you thank you thank you!
★★★★★
LOVE LOVE LOVE
I had the best experience freeze drying my breast milk. The team is super knowledgeable and professional — and able to answer every complex question I threw at them. Service was so quick and convenient, and now I can use it to nourish my baby for 3 years! You gals are the best.

Brilliant business!
So happy with my experience freeze-drying my breast milk with The Milk Fairy! The email and SMS communication along the way were super informative, and I loved how I could track my package live on my iPhone the whole time. What a brilliant business — it's amazing that something like this exists in Australia now! I'm so happy to have my breast milk preserved for up to 3 years.
