Endless nights of pumping, not wasted

I'd spent endless nights pumping for my son and didn't want to see it lost before expiry. Within a matter of weeks I had litres of my milk in preserved pouches, ready to use whenever I needed, and I could even take them overseas.

Two years later, still coming back

I used this with my first son and two years later I still have breast milk to offer him when he's sick. I've recently purchased again for my daughter, and the team are able to separate my colostrum-heavy milk from the rest. So so thankful.

Saved us on an off-grid camping trip

Our battery system failed during the trip and the fridge and freezer turned off overnight without us realising. Luckily I didn't have any in the freezer because I'd brought the freeze dried sachets instead. Absolute life saver.

A game changer for our wedding in Italy

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. Thank you for making modern motherhood more manageable!

Perfect for travel

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.

I wish this existed 10 years ago!

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 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, and they kept me up to date throughout the process. I had just over 8L dried and would definitely use this service again.

The perfect solution does exist!

This has been the perfect solution for managing my oversupply and limited freezer space. It gives me peace of mind knowing my baby can still have my milk anytime, anywhere, without the hassle of keeping it cold.

Breast milk sorted for our Bali trip

I wanted to bring my breast milk for the plane, and when we were over there. Bought a kit and 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.

The mental load, taken away

When we booked an overseas holiday I thought about how I would transport my fresh and frozen breastmilk while travelling. The Milk Fairy took the extra mental load away and I'm so grateful it made travelling a little less stressful.
