“My sister had her baby at 25 weeks, and he spent three months in the NICU. Hearing how he received donor milk during that time deeply impacted me. I was 20 weeks pregnant myself, and it inspired me to want to donate. Once I was five months postpartum, I began the process of donating so I could help other babies and families—like my sister’s—feel more at ease knowing their babies are receiving the best possible nutrition. I am incredibly grateful and honored to be able to do this.”

Thank you for your generosity and for sharing your story! Together, we can make sure that all vulnerable infants have the liquid gold they need to thrive.

If you thought you couldn’t donate breast milk because you take occasional medicine like Tylenol or Advil, don’t rule yourself out!

While some medications require a waiting period, many common ones like acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin), and even seasonal flu shots are generally accepted. Our clinical team reviews your health history to ensure the highest safety standards for the babies we serve.

Have questions about your eligibility? The easiest way to find out if you can donate milk is by starting our two-minute donor screening at www.mothersmilk.org/donate

"I am so proud to be donating for the second time with my second baby. My experience has been completely different this time around. While my first child was exclusively breastfed, my second is exclusively bottle-fed, and our journey is still going strong.

To be honest, the journey is not always easy. Pumping every single time comes with its own set of challenges like the endless washing of pump parts, sterilizing, cleaning bottles, and organizing storage. I am so incredibly blessed though. Knowing that I can provide for my own baby while also helping NICU babies makes every minute worth it. Thinking about the many little ones who will benefit from this milk makes me so happy and keeps me motivated.

I also want to share that I am not doing this alone. My husband has been my major support system throughout this process. He encouraged me to donate and has been right there beside me during the most hectic, sleepless nights. Whether he is offering words of encouragement or taking over the cleaning of pump parts, his support has been the foundation of my ability to give back.

Together, we are so happy to help these tiny warriors. I am also so glad to be part of the Milk Warrior Circle"

"Sore ni***es are part of the process" ❌
"I don't produce enough to donate." ❌
"Babies don’t need breastmilk after starting solids." ❌

Stop us if you’ve heard these before! ✋

There is so much noise surrounding how we feed our babies, and it’s time to clear things up. We’re diving into the common misconceptions parents-to-be face—including the truth about milk donation (spoiler: you don’t need a freezer the size of a garage to help another baby!).

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your body and your baby. Check out our latest blog to get the real story.
