Having been on my own breastfeeding journey and seeing my baby thrive on my milk, it really struck a cord to realize that many preterm infants do not have access to this life-saving nutrition. I believe it needs to start with raising awareness for this critical need. If this is a cause that moves you, we invite you to help us spread the word on the importance of milk bank donations to help fragile NICU babies survive and thrive. Every preemie deserves this precious gift! -Brynn Jones (founder)
WakeMed is one of several nonprofit milk banks along the east coast where human donor milk is screened, collected, pasteurized, analyzed and distributed in North Carolina and surrounding states.
Breastmilk is the perfect food for tiny bellies and often referred to as liquid gold. Commercial formula cannot replicate the health benefits recieved from breastmilk, which enables premature newborns to tolerate feedings better, experience fewer complications, and go home sooner. It truly is life-saving!
Contains disease fighting antibodies and infection-fighting white blood cells to fight off viruses, bacteria and more.
Aids in the development of brain, eyes, nervous system and other tissues to help baby grow strong and leave the NICU sooner.
Easy to digest while helping complete the development of the stomach, intestines and healthy microbial colonization.
The perfect balance of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and other bioactive components for optimal preemie nutrition.
There are currently 29 milk banks who are members of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America throughout Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
3 ounces of breast milk makes 12 meals
Preterm infants fed human milk spent 15 fewer days hospitalized than those receiving formula.
From fundraisers to volunteering or just sharing information via your socials, you can help champion nonprofit milk banking by raising awareness about the use of pasteurized human donor milk.
We encourage you to reach out to your nearest milk bank to inquire about ways to work together to advance milk banking.
