At this time, all Leche products and services are only sold directly on our websitewww.itsmyleche.com.

One of Leche’s core values is supporting all parents, including our generous donor community. Leche is one of the few companies that compensate mothers for their hard work in making this precious resource which they then share with others. Through our donor program, Milkdrop, Leche is helping moms more easily share this amazing resource with families and babies who need it most.

Leche’s donor breast milk comes directly from our breastfeeding mother’s  in the USA. Our US-based donors are pre-screened, blood tested by a medically-approved laboratory and donor milk is triple-tested for safety and nutritional standardization.

Our Leche donors are first pre-screened in our initial application process. Before becoming a donor, a breastfeeding mother must be approved through our application process and medical verification test. These safeguards ensure that milk provided by our donors is free of any harmful contaminants like drugs, alcohol, or pathogens before being accepted into our donor program.

Leche is triple-tested to ensure quality and safety.  Our first step is ensuring the milk we receive is safe. Our Leche donors must be approved through an application process and take a blood test to ensure that donors are free from risk factors like communicable diseases, drug use, and blood-borne pathogens. Every milk donation is tested for microbial contaminants, drugs, alcohol, and foreign milk proteins to ensure our customers are receiving 100% human milk. Once production of our product is complete, it is re-tested to ensure it meets the highest levels of quality and safety. This allows us to provide the strongest levels of confidence to our families and babies receiving our products.

Leche is designed to complement your infant feeding journey. If you desire to use Leche as your sole feeding source, consult with your child’s pediatrician to ensure all of your baby's nutritional needs are met.

Leche is 100% pure human breast milk with no additives and is nutritionally standardized. We use freeze-drying technology to make it shelf-stable in powdered form.

Absolutely! We suggest working alongside your pediatrician or infant nutritionist to design the best program for you and your little one.

Yes! Our 7g sachets are to be reconstituted with 2 ounces of purified or distilled water. This allows families to have flexibility in their baby's nutritional needs. It is important to work alongside your pediatrician or infant nutritionist to customize the right plan for your little one.

Leche’s single-use individual sachets contain 7 grams of 100% pure freeze-dried breast milk. They are designed to be reconstituted with 2 ounces of purified or distilled water and can also be used in first foods, smoothies, toddler milks and more!

Once reconstituted, Leche should be used within 2-4 hours. Any unused portion should be refrigerated and discarded after 4 hours to ensure the best nutritional quality and safety.

Store Leche in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once a sachet is opened, it should be used immediately to ensure the highest quality and safety.

Leche is 100% human breast milk and does not contain any additives. However, if your child has specific allergies or medical conditions, please consult with your pediatrician before incorporating Leche into their diet.

We only accept disposable certified breast milk storage bags. At this time we can not accept any glass containers, other zip-style bags (ex. Ziploc) or any other storage containers. Bags sent to Leche should not be overfilled as this can lead to leaky bags and waste.

Given the importance of making sure your package arrives within the work week, you can only send your shipment out Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. This will ensure your breast milk will be kept safe and frozen prior to processing. 

We highly recommend packing up your breast milk immediately before dropping off your package or its scheduled pick-up time. PLEASE do not leave your package outside if it is scheduled for pick-up by FedEx. Hand your Leche shipping box directly to your FedEx representative. If you select pickup, select and confirm your pickup date and time before you pack your shipping box as it may require at least 24 hours in advance to confirm your pick-up window.

You can send up to 75 ounces of breast milk for each shipment as long as it fits in your custom Leche breast milk storage bag. We can only accept your custom Leche storage bag if it is FULLY SEALED and SIGNED prior to shipment.

Our reconstitution guidelines are flexible, but please chat with your pediatrician to design the best nutritional plan for your little one.   Hydration is just as important as all the amazing nutrients in your breast milk -- ensure that you refer to the CDC guidelines on the average amount of liquid ounces required based on your little one's age and weight. 

Everyday Leche: For each (5 gram) Leche scoop, mix with 2 ounces of purified or distilled water.

Leche Premier: Mix the contents of one sachet with 4 ounces of purified or distilled water. Depending on your little ones' needs and how much powder you use, you can modify this ratio to 2-6oz of water.

Everyday Leche and Leche Premier have a shelf life of 3 years as long as the packaging is unopened, sealed and stored in a cool, dry place. For Everyday Leche, we follow the same standards set by the FDA for infant formula which is recommended to be used within 1 month of opening. As long as you keep your Leche in a cool, dry place and limit exposure to moisture, oxygen, or heat, you will be able to follow the standards above.

We love providing you with as many great resources as possible to help you throughout your breastfeeding journey yet we always will follow and lead you back to the CDC, AAP and Healthy Children organizations. 

Leche was designed to be a compliment to your nutrition and feeding plan, created to help give parents and babies more flexibility. We always suggest working with your pediatrician to ensure that your baby is getting adequate nutrition and hydration from the various sources available to you, whether that be breast milk, Leche, formula or a combination of all.

Because we were the first Leche customers, we understand the importance of trusted, safe handling for anything your baby uses. Leche processes within a facility that holds the highest food handling certifications. Leche is the ONLY breast milk freeze-drying service currently conducting extensive pre-production testing to ensure no harmful bacteria are present in the breast milk. Thank you for trusting us with this precious gift and resource that will give back to you and your little ones for years to come.

We only accept frozen breast milk for both shipping and processing safety.

We know that one of the most beautiful parts of each mother's breast milk is that it is unique and specifically made for their little one's needs. Just like no mom's milk is exactly the same, not every baby requires the same nutritional plan. Leche is here to provide you the flexibility and convenience in feeding but designing your baby's nutritional plan is a decision made between you and your pediatrician. Discuss with your pediatrician how you plan to use Leche and what other needs are required to ensure your baby is getting everything they need. 

All Milkdrop by Leche donors must submit an application and require blood work to be considered for our donor opportunities.

Leche only accepts milk free of drugs, alcohol, and dilatants from US-based donors.

Leche uses protein analysis for all donated milk kits to detect any dilution.

Leche will accept milk frozen in various breast milk storage bags and volume amounts. We do not accept milk stored in jars or other containers.
