In this video, Dr. Robert M. Insoft, a newborn intensive care specialist, explains why donor milk is a safe and effective option for your baby. Offering further insight, mothers who have both donated and received milk generously share more about their journey.

“I’m a pediatrician, but more importantly, I’m also the father of a formerly premature baby, and I can tell you firsthand that I feel extremely confident that if my family needed to use donor breast milk, it would be the best for my son . . .”
