Each single-serve packet makes 2 oz. of breast milk (20 calories/oz). Many parents use MaiaMilk as a bridge, a backup, or a supplement—not always as every feed.

Just add one packet to 2 oz. of warm water, swirl or shake, and feed. No fridge, thawing, or hassle.

Human milk is naturally bioavailable, meaning babies absorb and use its nutrients better than formula. It also delivers living immune and gut-supporting factors no lab can replicate.

Yes—even partial feeding with human milk can support immunity, digestion, and development. Every ounce counts.

Our donors are healthy, screened moms whose milk is surplus to their baby’s needs. Each donation undergoes rigorous testing before it ever reaches your baby.

MaiaMilk is 100% real human breast milk that’s been gently pasteurized and freeze-dried into powder form. It preserves the full biological complexity of breast milk, making it shelf-stable and easy to prepare.

Unlike formula, MaiaMilk isn’t a simulation — it’s the real thing.

Breast milk delivers nutrients in forms that infants can easily absorb and use. Despite lower quantities of some nutrients, their absorption is significantly higher compared to formula. Click here to learn more about the superior bioavailability of breast milk.

 Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) are unique prebiotics found in breast milk that nourish good gut bacteria, block pathogens, and help train the immune system. Click here to learn more about breast milk’s benefits on baby’s gut biome.

While the pasteurization process eliminates live bacteria, MaiaMilk still contains prebiotic components like HMOs, as well as immune-supportive compounds such as secretory IgA and lactoferrin. These elements help foster the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and support a healthy gut barrier and immune system. Click here to learn more about breast milk’s benefits on baby’s gut biome.

MaiaMilk contains DHA and ARA, essential fatty acids for brain growth, plus immune factors and bioavailable proteins that support cognitive development in early life. Click here to learn more about the benefits of breast milk.

Yes, MaiaMilk naturally contains lactose — just like all human breast milk. True lactose intolerance in infants is extremely rare, especially in newborns. If a baby is showing signs like gas or fussiness, it’s usually due to gut immaturity or feeding sensitivities rather than an inability to digest lactose. If your baby has been diagnosed with a medical condition that requires a lactose-free diet, consult your pediatrician before using MaiaMilk.
