The Houston Chronicle reported on the use of dontated breast milk at Texas Children's Hospital. I learned about milk banks and donation when I was pregnant and had great hopes of being a donor. However, my low supply meant I didn't even have enough for my own child, let alone the supply needed for donation. I certainly thank the donors and the service they do for improving American health. It's nice to have a mainstream publication highlight the importance of human milk for human babies.

"Breast milk remains in high demand in Houston. Mothers who wish to participate in the program may donate frozen breast milk up to 12 months after it has been expressed. To donate, visit www.texaschildrens.org/milk or call 832-824-6455.
Texas is the first state to have a licensed milk donor bank."
