When babies are born premature, their mothers sometimes cannot produce enough milk. Breast milk is vital in providing protection for fragile, premature infants.
Cottage Children’s Medical Center will host a breast milk donor drive for nursing moms to donate breast milk for babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
The donor milk drive will be held in the Women’s Services Conference Room at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Please enter the hospital at 400 W. Pueblo St., Santa Barbara. Nursing moms can learn about breast milk donation, get screened to be a donor, and also bring their donations of properly stored milk.
For more information, please call 805-569-8250.
