Breastmilk - Packaging Instructions

For one keepsake piece of jewellery, please send 5-10ml of breastmilk. If you do not have this amount I can work with as little as 2ml. Ensure the milk is fully defrosted before and during shipping. Any expressed breastmilk can be used, whether it is 1 year old or 10 years old.

  • Double bag, or better yet, triple bag your milk using breastmilk storage bags.
  • Remove as much air from the bags as possible before sealing to decrease the chances of the bags popping during transit.

  • Label the outer bag with your name and order number.
  • If sending more than one milk, clearly indicate which milk is to be used for each piece.

  • Include your full name and return address on the package.
