If you are interested in donating breastmilk, we recommend applying to be a donor through the Mothers' Milk Bank of Tennessee. The milk donated there is pasturized and processed to be given to NICU babies. Breastmilk has been found to prevent necrotizing entreocolitis, a potentially deadly condition, in these fragile, tiny newborns.
