In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, The King’s Daughters Milk Bank at CHKD is honored to highlight our Legacy Milk Donation Program, created for families who wish to make an altruistic donation of their breast milk in memory of their baby.

Whether the loss occurs through miscarriage, stillbirth, or the loss of an infant in the hospital or at home, we recognize that each family's journey is unique. Supporting bereaved families through their lactation experience can be an important part of the healing process, offering meaning, purpose, and comfort during an incredibly difficult time.

Through the gift of milk donation, families can create a lasting legacy that helps nourish and support other vulnerable infants while honoring the memory of their child.

As CHKD celebrates 65 years of Health, Healing, and Hope and The King's Daughters for CHKD mark 130 years of caring for children, we invite you to reflect on the people, milestones, and defining moments that have shaped our shared legacy.
