National Breastfeeding Month is a month dedicated to advancing advocacy, protection, and promotion of breastfeeding to ensure that all families have the opportunity to breastfeed. At The New York Milk Bank, we support all women in their breastfeeding and lactation goals. For World Breastfeeding Week, we sent out over 30 new mom gift baskets, countless Haakaa pumps, and milk storage bags to our depots and breastfeeding support groups throughout New York state. A big thank you to all of our partners!

The AAP recommends:

• Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. Beyond 6 months, breastfeeding should be maintained along with nutritious complementary foods.
• AAP recommends that birth hospitals or centers implement maternity care practices that improve breastfeeding initiation, duration, and exclusivity.
• There are continued benefits from breastfeeding beyond 1 year, and up to 2 years especially in the mother. Long-term breastfeeding is associated with protection against diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancers of the breast and ovaries.

Since 2016, the New York Milk Bank has dispensed over One Million Ounces of pasteurized donor milk to babies in need. While this would not have been possible without our generous donors and contributors over the years, a tremendous thank you to our team for their endless hard work and dedication! Recently, we celebrated at the local bowling alley Bowlero White Plains.

Watch our generous donor Carolyn tell us why she chose to donate her milk.
