Human milk is best for all babies, as it has active beneficial properties and is similar to mother's/parent's own milk. It provides babies with antibodies to fight infection and disease.
BC Women's Provincial Milk Bank screens milk donors, collects, heat-treats (pasteurizes) donated human milk, and distributes it to hospitals in B.C. Currently, the Milk Bank ships human milk to over 20 hospitals, including all 14 BC NICUs. The demand for milk is high and often exceeds supply. New donors are always needed.
