Dedicated to babies.

Dedicated to quality.

Dedicated to safety.

Our son was born before 33

weeks. He was in the NICU for

almost three weeks, and we

were so thankful that there was

donor human milk available for

him during his first few days. It

took away some of the stress of

the situation by helping me to

relax instead of panic about my

milk not being ready right away.

Human milk for babies’ health

Donate Milk. Save Babies.

– Megan, mother of a donor human milk recipient

Why donate my excess milk?Donating milk saves lives. One ounce of your milk can feed a premature baby for an entire day, saving that baby’s life.

Babies in hospital neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) depend on the life-saving nourishment of donor human milk when their own mothers’ milk is not available. It protects babies from illness and infection.

Donor human milk is essential for any baby with a weakened immune system or special dietary needs. Donor human milk is also used in the cases of adoption; surrogacy; the birth of multiples; or when a mother is ill or taking certain medications.

Why donate my milk to MMB?

By donating to Mothers’ Milk Bank (MMB), you are assured that your donation will be highly valued and treated with the respect it deserves. All human milk donated to MMB is tested and processed, and we take great care to preserve its original value.

For more than 30 years MMB, the largest nonprofit milk bank in North America, has provided life-saving donor human milk to infants throughout the United States.

MMB does not compensate women for their milk. It is all lovingly donated. This allows for safe, contaminant-free nourishment for babies and minimal processing fees for hospitals. Since the cost of a hospital stay typically includes needed nutrition, including donor human milk for all babies, families do not incur additional costs for using donor human milk in the hospital.

Donating through a nonprofit milk bank makes the biggest impact on babies’ lives.

It just makes you feel great. I’m

very fortunate and lucky that I

have the ability to give my milk

and even more so that I have a

surplus and can share that gift. – Colette, human milk donor
