Donor Milk Program
When a mother’s own breast milk is not available or there is not enough of it, donor milk from a donor milk bank is the next best option. Milk is donated by healthy women who are nursing their own babies and have extra milk to donate to the milk bank. The milk bank follows safety guidelines set by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA).
At Trinity Health Birth Center – Livonia Hospital, we use donor milk from the Bronson Mothers’ Milk Bank located in Kalamazoo, Mich. Donor human milk is pasteurized, a process that uses high heat to kill known bacteria and viruses. The milk is then tested to make sure it is germ-free. Most of the unique factors found only in human milk remain after the heat treatment.
