Looking to donate your breastmilk? Find all the information you will need to do so on this page!
In partnership with Mother’s Milk Bank of Florida, you may be able to donate your breast milk to help a baby in the neonatal intensive care unit for premature infants, even if you do not live near Key West.
Why Donate Breastmilk?
Almost 10% of babies are born prematurely in Florida. Milk donors in excellent health provide life-saving milk to fragile infants across the state. Donor human milk (DHM) is dispensed by prescription only. The highest-priority recipients are premature and ill hospitalized infants.
We answer frequently asked questions here: Mothers' Milk Bank of Florida.
