    Milk by Mom: The Benefits of Freeze-Dried Breast Milk

    Tirza Jova, the CEO and founder of Milk by Mom, shares her journey of discovering freeze-dried breast milk and how it inspired her to start her company. She discusses the nutritional benefits of freeze-dried breast milk and the convenience it offers to breastfeeding mothers. Tirza also talks about the challenges of parenthood, the importance of self-care, and the value of setting boundaries for children. She emphasizes the need for parents to stay true to themselves and find something that brings them joy and fulfillment. Milk by Mom is a company that offers breast milk freeze drying as a storage method for breastfeeding mothers. The process involves freeze drying the breast milk using low heat, which preserves the nutrients and antibodies. The freeze-dried breast milk is then turned into a powder form that can be reconstituted with water. Some common misconceptions about freeze-dried breast milk include confusing it with dehydration and thinking that there is not enough evidence to support its use. Milk by Mom ensures the safety and quality of the freeze drying process through stringent protocols and compliance with FDA guidelines. The nutritional benefits of freeze-dried breast milk include preserving the nutrients and antibodies without the decline in nutrition that occurs with freezing. Milk by Mom sets itself apart from other storage solutions by having a facility exclusively dedicated to processing breast milk and a commitment to supporting and educating mothers. They aim to grow their business and make freeze-dried breast milk more widely available, especially in NICUs. They also hope to overcome challenges such as the cost of shipping. Feedback from healthcare professionals has been mostly positive, with some skepticism that can be addressed through providing clinical evidence. Advice for mothers considering freeze-dried breast milk is to do their research and choose a reputable company. Milk by Mom is dedicated to supporting mothers and providing them with a valuable and convenient option for storing breast milk.

New favorite podcast!

I love this podcast and the honesty throughout each episode! I love the advice you give and the set up of the episodes. It feels like a conversation between friends - a real and vulnerable conversation. I listened to all three episodes right away and can’t wait for the next to come out!

A podcast for the moms

I love the setup of each episode the whine, wine, and win of the week. This past week Sam had her first guest and it was fantastic to here the share experiences of being a mom. Production quality is great and I would have thought Sam has been doing this for a long time. My overall impression of this podcast is good. It has a clear goal and is executed impressively each week. Can’t wait to tune in each week.
