The Life-Saving Power of Donor Milk | Lindsay McGuire, The Milk Bank
On today's show I sat down with Lindsay McGuire, Assistant Director of Advancement for Branding & Outreach at The Milk Bank, to discuss the life-saving impact of donor human milk for NICU babies. We explore Indiana's high infant mortality rate, the challenges new mothers face, and the critical need for pasteurized donor milk, which essentially serves as a medicine for NICU babies. Lindsay explains the detailed process of milk donation, from screening to distribution, and shares touching stories of families benefiting from donor milk. Our conversation also highlights the profound generosity of milk donors, the importance of public awareness, and The Milk Bank's mission to ensure every baby has the best chance at a healthy start.
