Milk Depots

A milk depot is a convenient collection site for our approved donors to drop off their milk by appointment only. A milk depot is responsible for storing and shipping a donor's milk to us. NYMB pays all shipping fees.

Milk Depots 

Please email NYMB first before dropping off your milk. Milk depots are by appointment for approved donors only. Please send an email to [email protected].

Read our Pumping For Preemies handout to learn how to increase the fat content in your milk so low birth-weight babies grow healthy and strong. Proper hygiene includes washing hands and pump parts before expressing milk, sanitizing pump parts daily, and changing your pump tubing regularly ensures your milk is bacteria-free.
