Milk by Mom

Business Description

Milk by Mom is a Phoenix-based breast milk freeze-drying service available nationwide, including Puerto Rico and Hawaii. Our goal is to modernize how we feed breastfed babies by providing customers with the convenience and flexibility of formula with all the goodness of breast milk.   

Milk by Mom’s founder, Tirza Jova, discovered breast milk freeze-drying while working in corporate America and juggling the challenges of being a full-time working and breastfeeding mom with two daughters under the age of 2. She discovered breast milk freeze-drying as an alternative to breast milk storage and transportation and was amazed by its convenience and superior nutrition benefits compared to formula and traditional freezing. She was so impressed — and relieved — she created a company to make this service more widely available to mamas and caregivers across the US. 

Breast milk freeze-drying turns frozen breast milk into powder through a process called sublimation. Mothers and caregivers can return the breast milk back to its liquid form simply by adding water (quantity is customer-specific and provided in package labeling). 

Freeze-drying breast milk is superior to traditional freezing for the preservation of nutrients and antibodies, is shelf-stable for up to three years, has been studied for decades, is used by milk banks worldwide, and is convenient for travel or when on the go.
