When Cass became a mum, she quickly realised that the world of parenting today looks nothing like it did for our mums or grandmothers. Families are spread out across states—or even countries.
Many women are returning to work sooner than they expected. And dads are stepping into beautiful new roles as hands-on, equal partners in caring for their babies.
But with all these changes came one constant struggle: how to keep feeding your baby breast milk when life takes you beyond the nursery walls.
Cass knew that breast milk is more than just food—it’s love, protection, and connection in liquid form. She also knew how stressful it can feel to balance pumping, storing, travelling, and working, all while trying to stay present with your baby.
Out of her own journey, Nourishy was born—an Australian-first service that safely freeze dries breast milk so parents can hold onto the benefits of breastfeeding, without the constant stress.
Picture this: a mum boarding a plane with her baby for the first time. Instead of juggling an esky full of frozen bags and ice bricks, she slips a few pouches of powdered breast milk into her carry-on. She knows her baby will be fed, no matter how long the flight is delayed, and she doesn’t have to explain her cooler of milk to airport security.
Or think of a dad at home on parental leave. The baby is fussing, it’s feed time, and mum is at work or finally out for a long-overdue dinner with friends. Instead of dealing with rock-hard frozen bags or worrying about warming milk just right, he simply mixes a pouch of freeze-dried breast milk with water. Baby is happy, mum feels reassured, and parenting feels like a team effort.
And then there are the unexpected moments—an unplanned trip to the hospital, a sudden work meeting, a daycare call. Having a shelf-stable stash of breast milk brings comfort in the chaos. Parents know that even when life throws curveballs, their baby’s needs are cared for.
The Science That Protects “Liquid Gold”
Breast milk is often called “liquid gold” for a reason. It carries nutrients, antibodies, and enzymes that are as unique as your baby. But traditional freezing can sometimes affect taste, smell, and quality—especially if storage conditions aren’t perfect.
That’s why Nourishy uses a patented, no-touch freeze-drying process (developed with our partners Milkify in the USA). This method gently removes water from the milk while preserving its delicate nutrients. The result? Your breast milk is transformed into a powder that can last for years at room temperature—without losing its goodness.
Most importantly: your milk is never touched during processing. Every step is designed with safety and care in mind, so you can trust that what comes back to you is still very much your milk, just in a form that fits your family’s life.
Beyond Families: Reaching Babies Who Need It Most
Nourishy isn’t just here for individual mums and dads—it’s also helping vulnerable babies through a partnership with Mothers’ Milk Bank. This incredible organisation provides pasteurised donor milk to babies whose mums can’t breastfeed, whether due to illness, prematurity, or other challenges.
By freeze drying this donor milk, Nourishy helps it travel further and reach more families—making sure that more babies get access to the nourishment they desperately need.
A New Kind of Support for Parents
At its heart, Nourishy is more than a service. It’s a lifeline for families navigating the messy, beautiful, unpredictable reality of modern parenting. It’s the freedom to travel without stress, the comfort of knowing your partner can step in at feeding time, the security of having a stash ready for life’s surprises.
Most of all, it’s the peace of mind that the milk you worked so hard to provide—the liquid gold your body made just for your baby—will always be there, safe and ready, whenever your little one needs it.
