Love in Every Drop.

When a mother’s own milk is not available and formula isn’t the right fit, donor milk can be a gentle, trusted option. At UC Health Milk Bank, we believe every baby deserves access to safe, high-quality, pasteurized human milk. From donation to processing, we follow a rigorous, caring process to ensure every bottle meets the highest standards.

  • Pursuing Insurance Coverage

    AB3059 is a bill that defines donor milk as an essential health benefit under commercial plans, establishing coverage parity with Medi-Cal plans. If your child has a medical need, we can provide resources to get you started.
