Donate Breastmilk

A Human Milk Bank is a specialized service dedicated to collecting, screening, processing, and distributing donated breastmilk to infants who are most in need of it particularly those who are born prematurely, are underweight, or suffer from medical complications that make breastfeeding difficult or impossible. These banks operate under strict medical and hygienic guidelines to ensure that every ounce of milk provided is safe, free from contaminants, and nutritionally intact. The donated milk goes through a thorough screening process, including health checks for donors, microbial testing, and pasteurization to eliminate any potential pathogens while preserving the milk's essential nutrients and immunological properties. In many cases, the baby's biological mother may be unable to breastfeed due to critical health conditions, postnatal complications, or emotional stress. In such situations, donor human milk becomes a crucial bridge, offering the closest possible alternative to a mother's own milk. It not only saves lives but also fosters healthier long-term outcomes for vulnerable newborns. At Purple NICU, our Milk Bank stands as a beacon of hope, compassion, and science working together for the smallest patients.
