Much like donated blood, donor human milk can help save lives. A condition called necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) kills more babies than childhood leukaemia. Human milk can prevent NEC, so if mum cannot produce milk, donor milk acts like a medicine to protect the baby, helping to save tiny lives.

Story

The Human Milk Foundation is a new charity, established to fund research and education into human milk science, and to help parents access donor milk for their babies. Donor milk has until now been rationed to the sickest babies, but could help more to thrive. We will enable parents to access safe donor milk, if mum needs time and support to establish her supply or is unable to breastfeed for medical or practical reasons, or if baby is unwell. We have already helped mums with cancer, HIV and depression. Please help us to help more.
