Packaging and Shipping Your Inclusions

Find the inclusions listed below with specific directions on how to package each one!

Breastmilk

  • Between 5mls to 15mls (half an ounce) is required. Prior to shipping, please put the breastmilk in a sterile storage bag and seal it tightly. Next, put that sterile storage bag in a GALLON size storage bag and securely seal it. After bagging your breastmilk, bag it one more time. If the breastmilk were to leak during transit, I will have the chance to save it all with it being double (or triple) bagged. LABEL the bag with your name and order number.

Pregnancy Test Cap

  • Place the cap in an envelope and tightly fold with tape. Label with your name and order number.

Formula

  • Send a tablespoon in a tightly sealed bag. Label with your name and order number.

Dried Flowers (Funeral/Wedding):

  • These MUST be dried prior to sending due to potential mold that can occur during transit. You can leave these outside under the sun to dry completely. They will have a "crinkle" effect to them to be ready. Please send many petals for variations in color. Label with your name and order number.

Fabric (Piece of clothing, baby sock, baby blanket, etc):
