A group of physicians, nurses, lactation consultants, La Leche League leaders, mothers and others are working together to establish a non-profit community milk bank in the Boston area to serve hospitals and families in New England. We are working under guidelines and guidance of the Human Milk Bank Association of North America.

Although the first milk bank in the country was established in Boston almost 100 years ago, there is little recent experience in Boston and most of New England using banked milk for premature, NICU and other compromised babies. The Mothers Milk Bank of New England is working to educate medical practitioners, families and the community about the use of banked milk when mothers' own milk is not available.

Please join our effort to establish the Mothers' Milk Bank of New England.  We welcome your questions, skills, knowledge, time and energy.  For more information, please contact:   Naomi Bar-Yam atnaomi@necsi.org or Ilene Fabisch at ifab@comcast.net
