BUYING MILK FOR YOUR BABY

By Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation

 

Mothers’ Milk Bank offers and encourages the use of donor human milk for ALL infants who need it. Donor human milk is often described as a “bridge” between birth and breastfeeding, protecting babies from illness and infection. It is normal for some mothers to experience a delay in breast milk, and purchasing donor human milk from Mothers’ Milk Bank is a safe option for these moms.

Donor human milk is essential for any baby with a weakened immune system or special dietary needs. Donor human milk is also used when a mother has undergone a breast surgery, is ill, is taking certain types of medication, or has given birth to multiples and does not have an abundant milk supply.

Mothers’ Milk Bank is committed to safety and quality. We follow the strict guidelines set forth by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA). All milk donors are screened by trained staff members, undergo blood testing and must have their health care providers confirm their medical histories. The milk is pasteurized in an ISO 7 clean room and goes through extensive testing before being dispensed. MMB provides donor human milk as a community service, charging only a processing fee to offset some of the costs associated with the donor screenings, milk processing and milk testing.
