Accredited by and member of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America.Nothing is more agonizing than being a parent with a critically ill baby and thinking there is nothing you can do to help. Mothers can give a gift to help their sick baby that no one else can give and that is their milk. Many mothers work very hard to express milk for their own baby and sometimes cannot make enough due to their own illness or preterm delivery. The Oklahoma Mothers’ Milk Bank (OMMB) provides safe, pasteurized milk donated by healthy, screened breastfeeding mothers to ensure that our most vulnerable babies will receive full human milk feedings.

Why Human Milk

Why Human Milk

The American Academy of Pediatrics states that: “All preterm infants should receive human milk… Pasteurized donor human milk, appropriately fortified, should be used if mother’s own milk is unavailable or its use is contraindicated.” (2012)

Why Donate

Why Donate

  1. Preterm/ill infants are not fully developed and need human milk to fight infections and build stronger systems.
  2. Mothers of preterm babies sometimes cannot make enough milk to meet the needs of their babies due to illness, early delivery, or other health problems.
  3. By giving milk you are helping a preterm baby go home a healthy baby.
