Donor milk program

Piedmont donor milk program – Moms Helping Moms

Piedmont Healthcare has launched the first neonatal nutritional program in Georgia. Breastfeeding mothers can donate excess milk to help nourish premature infants.

Breast milk provides optimal nutrition for any newborn baby, especially for premature or sick babies. It contains nutrients that can be easily digested, absorbed and used by the baby's body for immunological development and growth. However, some very low birth weight babies require additional nutrition. Milk donated to Piedmont's Donor Milk Program is formulated into human milk nutritional products to help meet those needs.

Milk donations are formulated into nutritional products that benefit the most fragile premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. Breast milk is sent to Prolacta Bioscience, where it is tested, pasteurized and made into a 100% human milk product.

Potential donors with a surplus of breast milk can apply online through a simple, hassle-free process. This ensures that infants born too soon receive the nutrition they need.
