Donating After Loss
The loss of a baby is a profound and devastating experience. We are here to provide you with information on your lactation options. Some mothers find a sense of healing by donating their breastmilk to other babies in need. Teardrops and Milk Drops is our donor program for bereaved mothers that offers a simplified path to donating milk after a loss.
You are not alone.
At Mothers' Milk Bank of Tennessee, ALL mothers are at the center of our mission. We know all babies are forever held in our hearts as mothers.
Becoming a milk donor at the devastating loss of a child is a very personal decision. Our number one goal is to be a source of support to you. Some mothers find a sense of healing by becoming a milk donor.
For Physicians
At Mothers' Milk Bank of Tennessee, we believe it is crucial to provide bereaved mothers information about managing their milk production and to support them in the decisions they make about their milk.
We have developed a brochure for you to distribute to bereaved mothers. It provides an overview of lactation options after a loss.
