I have been an overproducer in breast milk since the week after my son was born. He had a bit of a stay in the NICU at first, so it felt like all I could do for him was pump, sit by his bed, and cry. Then, my oversupply happened.
Some of the oversupply goes to a friend in the Chicago suburbs for her son who was born about a month after mine. I love getting the updates of how he is doing; it’s so rewarding.
But, since the milk began overtaking my freezers (the basement freezer, the freezer we bought to also store milk in, my kitchen freezer, and even my work freezer – sorry, coworkers!), I’ve also been shipping milk off to be freeze-dried with Milkify (www.milkify.me).
I LOVE their customer service that they have. One time, due to weather, a shipment that was going from Chicago to their base in Texas was delayed. They proactively reached out to me to let me know that they were tracking it and they reassured me they would reach out to let me know if everything arrived still frozen. It did! I loved how they went above and beyond for doing that for me.
They also take excellent care of cleanliness. I don’t have to worry about any bacteria or anything making its way into the freeze-dried milk, which would be more likely to happen if I was trying to DIY this myself at home.
Freeze-drying the milk extends its shelf-life to three years from the moment it was freeze-dried, plus it makes it shelf stable, freeing up more freezer space for me to stock up even more milk for my son and also my friend’s son.
Because I love this company so much, I am working with them to get people 10% off their orders to also freeze dry their milk. Use my code word “EFFICIENTLY” for your 10% off and also enjoy the peace of mind knowing that you are setting aside milk for your little one.
If you have any questions, just let me know! I’d love to gush more about how much I love this company and what a great service they do for busy moms like us.
