From the moment my son left the NICU, I made a promise to myself that I would love to pay it forward through donating breastmilk. I am so proud to say that I have been able to donate over 2,500 ounces to the Mother's Milk Bank of California.

At my 34 week appointment, I was diagnosed with preeclampsia and admitted to the hospital same day. This came as a huge surprise as my son and I had just completed a half marathon together the week prior and my pregnancy journey was fairly uneventful. I dreamed of being able to breastfeed right away, but as my son was so early, my milk needed a little time to come in.

During his first week of life NICU, we relied on donor milk for the first few days to ensure he was nourished. I am so grateful for the moms who came before with their donations to be able to feed my son. Once I was two months postpartum, I was medically cleared and able to donate so I could help other families and babies like ours to receive the best possible nutrition in their first days and months of life. This has truly been one of the greatest honors of my life.

We are in awe of you Rachel .rachel_tsui.

Milk Warrior Ana shares: “When our baby girl was born, she spent time in the NICU due to jaundice and received donor breast milk until my milk supply came in.

We are forever grateful for the kindness and support that carried our family through those early days. We wanted to give back by helping other NICU babies and sending a little love, comfort, and support to the parents walking this same journey.

Ana, we are so grateful for your desire to pay this lifesaving gift forward. Whether you too have known a NICU baby or you simply want to help, learn if you can make a difference at:

Inside every incubator is a story of profound courage. This month, we honor the resilient babies fighting for their health, the brave parents navigating sleepless nights and complex medical choices, and the dedicated healthcare heroes providing around-the-clock care.

For premature and medically fragile infants, access to pasteurized donor human milk isn't just nutrition—it is lifesaving medicine that protects underdeveloped immune systems and fragile digestive tracts.

Every drop of donor milk delivered to a NICU offers vulnerable families hope, strength, and vital protection when they need it most.

How you can honor NICU Awareness Month today:
🌟Support a NICU parent: Offer grace, an open ear, or a warm meal without expecting anything in return.
🌟Donate extra milk: If you have surplus frozen milk, your donation can directly support a baby in critical care. Learn more at the link in bio.
🌟Spread the word: Share this post to help make pasteurized donor milk a standard resource for every family in need.

To all our NICU families past and present: we see your strength, we honor your journey, and we stand with you today and every day.

Milk Warrior Candice shares: “Marshall and I are excited to share we’re making our first milk donation. When Marshall was born he had feeding difficulties. When he was two weeks old he was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. With his heart condition, difficulties with feeding is one of the main symptoms and struggles. As such, as we’ve been on this medical journey, it’s been my mission to keep up my supply so when his heart is repaired and healed and he’s able to consume more milk I will have it available.

A friend of mine told me about Mother’s Milk Bank after her stay in the NICU with her daughter. I’m so glad I can now share my breastmilk with other babies in need.”

Thank you Candice for your strength, bravery, and generosity! Inspired? See if you can help at https://mothersmilk.org/donate/become-a-donor/?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=become_a_donor
