Freeze-dried breast milk is breast milk that has had its moisture removed through a specialized freeze-drying process, turning it into a stable powder. Unlike frozen milk, which requires freezer storage and has a limited shelf life, freeze-dried milk is shelf-stable, does not need refrigeration, and lasts for months or years when stored properly.
