Pregnancy, Birth and Children's Expo
The Pregnancy Babies and Children’s Expo (PBC), the world’s longest running early parenting event, offers a discounted rate for not-profit organisations.
This allows Mothers Milk Bank Charity (MMBC) to attend their events across Australia and make our charity, as a source of safe donor milk, more widely known.
At the Pregnancy Babies & Children’s Expo, we educate about the importance of breastfeeding, the benefit of donor milk in cases where breastfeeding cannot be provided and inform about the WHO International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes, that recommends against breastmilk substitutes, bottles or teats and prohibits any advertising for these products.
Jellie
Australian owned and run by a working mum of 2, Jellie aims to bring the best baby products from around the world to Australian mums. A company born out of frustration with long shipping times and expensive postage we decided to start Jellie to help Australian mums get better access to quality baby items.
As part of their support to our donors, Jellie now offer 20% off their breast pump. You will need to email them a copy of the email that you receive once you have become a donor, to receive a unique discount code. Limit of 2 per donor and online only.
Nourishy
Nourishy is Australia's first breast milk freeze drying service; their service converts a stash of breast milk into an easy-to-use and nutrient rich powder.
They have partnered with Milkify in the USA in order to bring this revolutionary product to Australia. Their facility in Northgate has been retro-fitted for the sole purpose of freeze-drying breast milk.
Freeze-drying gently removes the water content from milk whilst also preserving all of the milks nutrients. The final dry, powder is packaged into high density pouches for easy use.
Nourishy have begun freeze-drying donor milk donated to Mothers Milk Bank, making donor milk more accessible to parents who live in remote areas since it does not require cold-chain logistics for delivery.

Through the Haakaa Foundation, we are honoured to be able to support Mothers Milk Bank Charity through the donation of our "Save and Stash" packs. We hope these packs will enable MMBC’s incredibly generous breastmilk donors to effortlessly store their precious gift and reassure them that their breastmilk is stored safely and securely before donation.
