Join Our Breast Milk Study – Earn a $35 Gift Card

Mommy’s Milk is a human milk research program at UC San Diego. We study how life—health conditions, medications, environment, and more—can influence what’s in breast milk and how it supports baby development. Our mission is to build a diverse, inclusive research repository that helps doctors and scientists answer critical questions and improve care for all families.

We are studying how real-life experiences shape breast milk and baby health and we want to hear from Black and Hispanic/Latinx families to make sure all voices are included in research!

Mommy’s Milk is looking for lactating parents in your area to share their experience breastfeeding.

You may be able to join if you:

  • Are 18 or older
  • Are currently providing breast milk
  • Live in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Gainesville, or Washington, D.C.

What you’ll do:

  1. Complete a short phone interview
  2. Provide one milk sample
  3. Fill out a brief follow-up survey

You’ll get a $35 Target gift card for participating.
