MMBNE's New Milk-Processing Lab
Our new lab space is complete!
The Mothers' Milk Bank of New England is a non-profit community milk bank operating under the guidelines of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA). Our goal is to provide pasteurized, donated milk to babies in fragile health throughout the New England area.
Some mothers of ill and premature infants are unable to provide enough milk for their babies, and these infants can benefit greatly from banked donor human milk. The gift of human milk can mean the difference between life and death. Use of human milk can prevent many serious, long-term complications of prematurity, as well as help other babies with severe health conditions to grow and gain strength. MMBNE is proud to be part of this tradition.
