Mother's Milk Bank North Texas - Deleted

• Operating much like a blood bank, Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas collects breast milk from healthy, nursing mothers who have a surplus. Every milk donor is screened, and their milk is tested and pasteurized. Donor human milk is dispensed to premature and fragile infants without access to their mother’s own milk.

• Detailed Information

  • Mothers of premature infants cannot provide their own milk for a variety of reasons, including premature delivery, illness or medication use. The use of donor human milk has been proven to give these fragile babies a better chance of survival while decreasing complications. For some babies, donor human milk can truly be life-saving. 

    Through Mother's Milk Bank of North Texas, you can donate milk after you are checked off to become a donor. 

    How to become a donor: Screening, medical questionarre, blood draw, and milk drop off. 

    You can find a list of drop off locations under "donate" on the website. 

    In need of donor milk?

    - Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas (MMBNT) dispenses milk to outpatient infants by prescription only. Milk is prioritized to hospitalized infants first and then to infants at home with a medical need. Parents can inquire about receiving donor milk whether the baby is about to be discharged from the hospital, or is already home. MMBNT will assist parents in filing insurance and obtaining coverage based on a sliding scale. 
    

    - Receiving milk for a healthy baby at home

    From time to time, mothers need a little extra milk to help supplement their supply for their healthy baby. MMBNT’s priority is hospitalized infants and medically needy babies at home, but occasionally our supply of donor human milk allows us to serve healthy infants when a mother is struggling with her supply. For more information about receiving milk for your baby, please visit the website, click on "recieiving milk" tab to locate the contact info to inquire about filling this need. 

    Donation due to bereavement: 

    The loss of a child is a tremendous hardship that we wish no family ever had to experience. Though words cannot dampen the grief, we offer our sincerest condolences to you during this difficult time. When a mother experiences the loss of her child, she is faced with many decisions, including those related to lactation. Our bereavement brochure provides information about lactation options, including: how to discontinue lactation, how to continue expressing, and how a mother can donate her breastmilk if she chooses to do so. Please locate this brochure under the "bereavement" tab on our website.
