Fund Our Research

Join the Mommy’s Milk Mission by Supporting Cutting-edge Human Milk Discoveries

Your generous donation to Mommy’s Milk will help us advance critical research on human milk and its impact on short- and long-term child health and development. By supporting our program, you will be championing human milk discoveries that can help shape healthcare policy, improve infant nutrition, and enhance outcomes for mothers and babies worldwide.

Why Donate to Mommy’s Milk?

Any health expert will tell you that human milk is the absolute best source of nutrition for an infant, bar none. Yet there is so very much we don’t know about human milk, its characteristics, how it is impacted by environmental exposures, and what exactly makes it so very beneficial for child development. So in 2014, we set out to change that.

We are the first human milk biorepository and clinical database that is 100% dedicated to research. With the help of lactating moms across the country, we’re transforming and expanding what the medical and scientific community knows about “liquid gold” and its impact on child health and development, and we need your help to do it – donate today!

Our research is part of UC San Diego’s programming to advance human milk from molecular discovers to local and global public health impact. When you donate to Mommy’s Milk, you are moving forward the collaboration at the Human Milk Institute.
