Request Milk

Whether you’re a parent or family member looking for human donor milk for your baby, or a healthcare provider seeking milk for your unit or patients, we’re so glad you found us.

Here’s what you need to know:

Mothers’ Milk Bank is registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), accredited by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA), and a licensed tissue bank. We follow strict guidelines in order to distribute pasteurized human donor milk to hospitals and outpatient families across the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska.

Most of our outpatient recipients are premature infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), but here are other reasons that a doctor would prescribe donor milk:

• • Death or absence of mother
  • Failing immune system
  • Insufficient lactation of mother
  • Adopted, foster, or surrogate babies
  • Illness or health risk from the biological mother that prevents or requires interruption in breastfeeding.

Donor milk offers all of the benefits of a mother’s own milk:

• • Promotes brain development
  • Lowers respiratory infections
  • Has easy digestibility
  • Acts like a vaccine by transferring antibodies
  • Lowers the risk of asthma, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), obesity, and type 2 diabetes
