Linden Lactation is proud to partner with The Milk Bank in Indianapolis, IN, to be a Milk Depot and Milk Express site.
The Milk Bank has put out a call for milk donations. Please TEXT 636-306-3410 to arrange a drop-off.
As a Milk Depot, we can now accept milk donations from approved donors. There is no minimum donation amount; every ounce counts. Your donated milk will be sent to The Milk Bank for processing and then sent back out to a hospital or Milk Express location. According to The Milk Bank, every ounce donated provides up to three feedings for the tiniest babies in the NICU.
The process to become a donor takes about 2-4 weeks to complete and includes completing a health questionnaire and having blood work. You can start the process by clicking the link below.
If you find yourself needing a small amount of donor human milk, you can purchase it through The Milk Bank and pick it up at our office. You MUST go through The Milk Bank to purchase but the process only takes about 15 minutes. You can set up a pick-up time by contacting our office - we can often accommodate evening or weekend pick-ups.
This service may be helpful if you have seen a sudden supply drop due to illness, have an unexpected separation from baby, or are waiting for your mature milk to come in and need a small amount of milk to bridge that time while you are waiting.
