“Great article from FemTech Insider: BoobyBiome Raises £2.5M to Preserve Breast Milk’s Hidden Microbiome!
BoobyBiome, a London-based startup, has just secured a £2.5 million seed round to revolutionise infant health by preserving the crucial microbiome in breast milk. Founders Dr. Sioned Jones, Dr. Lydia Mapstone, and Dr. Tara O’Driscoll discovered that expressed breast milk loses its beneficial bacteria when exposed to oxygen. This groundbreaking work began at UCL and has now led to the development of a device designed to protect these beneficial microbes.
Dr. Jones explains, ‘Once breast milk is exposed to air, anaerobic microbes vital for child health die within 60 minutes.’ This discovery led to their unique device that absorbs oxygen, maintaining the milk’s complete nutritional profile, including vital antimicrobial strains, vitamins, and antioxidants.
Their approach addresses infant health in two ways: preserving the microbiome in breast milk for breastfeeding mothers and developing a live microbiome drop supplement for formula-fed babies. With their first product launching in 2026, BoobyBiome plans to expand both its research and product availability across Europe and the US.
