We’re grateful for your commitment to supporting moms and families across North America!
Here's what we know:
Though donor breast milk primarily serves babies in the NICU, some families also use donor milk for their healthy, full-term babies.
Although human milk is beneficial for all babies, it can be of particular help to the 10% of infants in the U.S. who are born prematurely and are susceptible to conditions like necrotizing entercolitis, a potentially life-threatening intestinal disorder.
Milk banks screen all donors to ensure they are healthy and meet HMBANA’s donor criteria, before being pasteurized to eliminate any germs that may have been present in the milk and tested thereafter to ensure none remain.
We want to empower families to support each other through.
What started as a month-long initiative o support families during a national crisis, has evolved into an award-winning campaign to support moms and families and our nonprofit milk banks across the USA and Canada.
Since June 2022, Medela has helped moms donate milk more than 68,000 ounces to nonprofit milk banks.
