Receive Milk

Looking for Pasteurized Donor Human Milk for your baby?

There are many reasons why an infant may need pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM). Certain conditions related to prematurity or other medical issues such as malabsorption or gastrointestinal disorders, feeding intolerance to formulas, or congenital anomalies are some situations when a baby can greatly benefit from the nutritional and immunologic support of donor human milk.

Sometimes a small amount of supplementation may be required for healthy babies as mothers’ milk supply increases or as the mother and baby work to establish feeding.  Using donor milk as a bridge until issues are resolved may be helpful until feeding is on track.

Distribution sites have pasteurized donor human milk available for purchase after discharge from hospitals or maternity centers. See the map for locations and the list below for details about hours of operation and requirements.  Donor milk is available in 4oz./120ml frozen bottles.  Cost and number of bottles dispensed varies by site. Requests of more than 40oz of milk requires a prescription from the mother’s or baby’s provider. A template for a prescription is available which your provider can use or have as guidance for completing their own script.  Getting a copy of the script for yourself can be very helpful since it allows you to go to any distribution site.  Currently, sites are unable to submit for insurance reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company to see what coverage is offered. Requests that are greater than 40oz. can be referred to the Minnesota Milk Bank for Babies Golden Valley site.
