The Stress-Free Move: How to Ship and Store Your Breast Milk During Relocation
Whether it is a Military PCS move, a family relocation for a new career, a family trip or a surrogacy journey, moving your “liquid gold” is one of the most stressful parts of the relocation process. The logistics of keeping a massive frozen stash at while in transit are daunting—and often prohibitively expensive.
While some parents look into specialty breast milk shipping box companies, the costs of overnight priority shipping and high-end coolers add up quickly. Furthermore, those services still leave you with a ticking clock: you must be at your destination to receive and freeze that milk immediately.
There is a better way. By freeze-drying your milk with BoobieJuice, you can skip the dry ice, eliminate the overnight shipping anxiety, and arrive at your new home with a shelf-stable stash ready whenever you are.
The Pitfalls of Traditional Milk Shipping
Shipping frozen milk across the country requires heavy insulation or dry ice (which often triggers “dangerous goods” shipping surcharges).
-
The Cost: Between purchasing specialized cooler kits and paying for 24-hour Express Overnight Shipping, you can easily spend Hundreds to thousands of dollars. They also have limited size options.
-
The Risk: Inadequate Styrofoam coolers or a single shipping delay can lead to a thawed, unusable stash.
-
The Timing: You must have someone at your destination ready to receive the package. If your housing isn’t ready or your move-in date shifts, your milk is at risk.
