MaiaMilk & Ni-Q share one purpose: to make human donor milk more accessible to babies and the people who care for them.
Through MaiaMilk, we bring meticulously screened, freeze-dried, donor milk into everyday life, giving parents another option when they need a little backup. Through Ni-Q, we support healthcare professionals with donor milk for the babies in their care.
From the mothers who donate to the families we serve, care is at the heart of everything we do. Nurtured by Nature. Backed by Science.
Because every drop matters.
A Revolutionary First
MaiaMilk is a 100% human milk available in a shelf-stable format for home use.
This isn’t synthetic. This isn’t an imitation. This is natural human donor breast milk made conveniently accessible for modern families.
Our Mission: Compassion Through Innovation
We believe every baby deserves their best start, and every parent deserves feeding options. Too many families face difficult choices when it comes to nourishment—whether due to supply challenges, medical needs, work demands, or countless other unpredictable realities of modern parenting.
We exist to expand those options, offering a solution that brings the unique benefits of human milk to families when they need it most.
We’ve transformed this precious gift of human milk packaged to fit seamlessly into real life. Whether you’re navigating those first uncertain days postpartum, managing work and pumping challenges, or simply need reliable backup support.
Built for Real Life
Modern parenting doesn’t follow textbook timelines. Milk doesn’t always come in on schedule. Work demands don’t pause for pumping breaks. Partners want to help with feeding. Babies need extra support.
MaiaMilk was designed for those unpredictable moments. Shelf-stable convenience that requires no refrigeration, no thawing, and less planning ahead. Mom’s leaving the house. Plot twist: sometimes solo. Pack MaiaMilk for an outing with baby, or leave it with whoever’s on bottle duty.
Uncompromising Safety
Every pouch of MaiaMilk undergoes multiple layers of testing and quality control to ensure maximum safety and purity.
Step 1: Donor Screening
Every drop begins with donor screening. We conduct a detailed health history review, along with comprehensive blood. Once an applicant has successfully completed this process they are eligible to donate milk.
Step 2: Testing At Every Stage
Donated milk is tested upon receipt for a variety of quality and safety tests. Milk that passes this step is qualified for processing to be fed to infants. The final product is testing prior to being released for distribution.
Step 3: Pasteurized & Freeze-Dried
Once cleared, milk is gently pasteurized using a clinically validated heat treatment that eliminates harmful bacteria while preserving vital nutrients. It’s then freeze-dried into a shelf-stable powder, a breakthrough that keeps breast milk portable and just as convenient as formula, while maintaining its bioactive complexity.
Milk With Meaning
Behind every packet of MaiaMilk is a community of generous donor mothers who understand that nourishment is an act of love that extends beyond biology. These remarkable women share their liquid gold to help other families thrive, creating a circle of support that embodies the very best of human compassion.
We honor their gift through fair compensation, rigorous safety protocols, and unwavering commitment to quality. Their generosity becomes your peace of mind—knowing that when life gets complicated, optimal nutrition doesn’t have to be compromised.
The Story Behind Our Name
In ancient mythology, Maia was the nurturing goddess of growth and motherhood—a tender guardian who watched over the vulnerable and helped life flourish. Her name, rooted in the concept of "mother" and "nurse," represents the timeless, sacred act of nourishment that has sustained humanity since the beginning of time.
Today, we honor her legacy by bringing families natural human donor milk, reimagined for the modern world.
