DONOR MILK
SAVES LIVES

Mothers' milk is the best nutrition for newborns.

Some babies don't have access to their mother's milk at birth. Mothers' Milk Bank of Tennessee is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit milk bank dedicated to providing safe, pasteurized donor human milk to the most vulnerable babies in need of lifesaving nutrition.

THE POWER OF HUMAN MILK

For medically fragile infants, breast milk is more than a nutritional choice. It is a lifesaving intervention. Studies have proven the use of only human milk to feed preterm and low birth weight infants reduces mortality by 75%.

​

Each year, hundreds of extraordinary moms in the Southeast volunteer to share their excess milk to advance our mission. Our milk donors are improving outcomes for preterm and critical infants with every ounce of their lifesaving milk.
