Why Become A Breast Milk Donor?

A human breast milk donor is a mother whom, of various reasons, have a higher production of breast milk than needed. She can choose to donate the excess milk to hospitals or milk banks, as long as she passes the screening for approved donor.

Breast milk is especially important for sick children or premature infants. The breast milk contains important nutrients and immune substances that can protect the child against infections. It can also develop and mature the immune system and the central nervous system. Due to various reasons, some mothers are unable to offer their own breast milk to their children - these children can be dependent on donor milk for a shorter or longer period of time to get the help they need.

Unfortunately, at times, there is limited access to breast milk in the milk banks. Therefore, more donors are needed. The breast milk from milk banks are highly valued by the children who need it, and their parents. It´s a nutritious meal no formula or sugar water can replace. If you are breastfeeding and have some milk to spare, consider donating it to a milk bank. Your breast milk could be the medicine that a premature baby needs.

Being a breast milk donor can be just as important as being a blood donor. You can save lives. Every drop counts.
