The Human Milk Program at DCH Health System

DCH Health System has selected Prolacta Bioscience^® to provide 100% human milk nutritional products to babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) at DCH Regional Medical Center and Northport Medical Center. Through this program, mothers from the community can select a Prolacta-affiliated milk bank that best meets their needs. Prolacta offers a network of milk banks where the donor either receives direct compensation for her milk donation or makes a charitable contribution on her behalf.

Prolacta only accepts donations to meet the current and foreseeable needs of hospital NICU partners. From time to time, new applications to Tiny Treasures Milk Bank are put on hold because the generosity of current donors meets the needs. Due to Prolacta’s commitment to the charity program supported by milk donations, such as the Helping Hands Milk Bank which benefits Susan G Komen, Prolacta does not limit applications.

How Do Preemies Benefit From the Donated Milk?

Breast milk is important for all babies, and is especially important for premature babies – nothing else provides the same benefits. However, mothers with premature infants may have difficulty in producing and are unable to breastfeed. Therefore donor milk-based products are easier for premature infants to digest, compared to formula, and to provide positive health outcomes.

The donated milk through the milk banks will be used to make potentially lifesaving human milk-based nutritional products including human milk-based fortiﬁer, human milk caloric fortiﬁer, human milk-based premature infant formula, and standardized donor milk for preterm infants in the NICU.
