The UP-PGH Human Milk Bank is currently in need of breastmilk donations to support our most vulnerable patients in the Neonatal ICU. These premature and critically-ill newborns rely on donor milk for their vital nutrition, immunity, growth and development. This gift of milk can give our NICU babies the best possible start in life. Thank you and please kindly share to those willing to donate!

For clarification, the UP-PGH Human Milk Bank DOES NOT SELL breastmilk. It is given free to our babies. Thank you!

Here's the link of the donor screening form:
