Donor Milk
How to Order Donor Milk
Why donor milk? Many families come to get donor milk to bridge the time from when they leave the hospital until their milk supply becomes more plentiful. Donor milk may be used outside of the hospital setting for many reasons including baby coming home from NICU, low milk supply, surrogacy, and adoption to name a few. Some families will use donor milk once they are back to work and they are short a few ounces of milk. There is a charge for pasteurized donor human milk because of the process that makes it safe — thorough screening of donors, testing, pasteurization, and careful handling. We are open Monday- Friday for you to pick up donor milk. Please call first to make sure we have milk in stock. 847-272-1500. Donor milk is $22.00 per bottle.
