To conclude our Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas video series, we take a look at all the good that comes from donating breast milk. Along with powerful and inspiring stories from donors and recipients alike, the series has also featured tidbits of good information from neonatologist Erin Hamilton Spence and our own Production Manager, Shaina Starks-Solis. In case you missed them, some of the many benefits include:
- 80% of the processed donor human milk is dispensed to babies in hospital NICUs
- Just a few ounces of milk can feed a preemie for sometimes up to 24 hours
- Donating to a non-profit milk bank guarantees the donations go to the most critically-ill babies who need it most
- Breastmilk really does provide immunities unavailable from other sources
You can watch the fourth video in the series here: Why Should I Donate?
Our incredible 
donor moms helped us fill our hospital orders this year, but a rise in awareness means a rise in need. In order to meet this years’ anticipated demand, Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas will need at least 805 generous donor moms to drop off or ship us their “liquid gold.” Any healthy, breastfeeding mother with a baby under 1 year old is eligible to donate. If you are interested, please contact Simone Summerlin via email at simone@texasmilkbank.org.
