Recently, Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital’s Donor Milk Bank faced a critical shortage—and our community is stepping up to help our smallest patients thrive! After putting out a call for donations on social media, dozens of mothers responded who were able to donate breast milk.
Donor breast milk can be lifesaving for premature and medically fragile newborns who are unable to receive milk from their own mothers. It protects against life-threatening infections, supports healthy development, and gives our tiniest patients the best possible start.
If you’re a healthy, lactating mother with extra milk, please consider becoming a donor. Your donation can make a world of difference for a newborn in need. You can also support the Donor Milk Bank by making a monetary donation, which will help ensure that we can continue to help our most vulnerable patients thrive.
