Dear Donor Mother,

Thank you for your interest in donating your milk. We look forward to having you as a part of our team in improving the lives and health of the premature and sick babies we serve.

The donor approval process is three easy steps:

Please carefully read all of the enclosed important information sheets.

The precious milk that you are sending will be fed to the most fragile and ill babies. Following our instructions will enable you to provide the purest, freshest, and most carefully handled milk possible. Please carefully read the Pumping Instructions and Medication Information, and feel free to call us if you have questions at any point during the process. We have staff available to answer any questions.

After we receive your milk and all of your paperwork and blood test results, we will carefully pour, mix and pasteurize your milk by gently heating it to destroy any bacteria that may be present. Pasteurized donor milk has been found to be as protective against infection as fresh milk because the majority of antibodies survive the heating and freezing process. Next, we will distribute the milk to premature hospitalized babies or to sick babies whose doctors have prescribed donor milk for them. Not only does you milk contain very important antibodies to fight infection, it is also easy to digest and full of valuable nutrients.

Please review all instructions on this page before completing the form

After completing the form we will contact your healthcare provider for any needed supplimental information on mother and baby.
