Why Breast Milk?
Human Milk provides an ideal combination of nutrients, as well as important antibodies. These components cannot be completely replicated in any other source of nutrition. For premature and medically fragile babies, it can be a medical necessity.
Milk Banking
The New York Milk Bank is licensed by The New York State Department of Health and is accredited by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA). HMBANA believes in a world where all infants have access to human milk through the support of breastfeeding and the use of pasteurized donor human milk.
