Research That Starts With You
This study is led by Mommy’s Milk Human Milk Research Biorepository, part of the Department of Pediatrics at UC San Diego. We collect and study human milk to better understand how medications, health conditions, and environmental exposures affect breastfeeding parents and
their babies.
- 100% Confidential
- Research conducted by a trusted academic institution
- Designed to reflect real-life experiences
We Want to Hear From You
We are especially interested in hearing from:
- Black families
- Hispanic/Latinx families
- Families who qualify for programs like WIC, SNAP, or Medicaid
Your experiences are often underrepresented in research — and that matters. Including all
voices helps create better, fairer care for every family. - Currently enrolling participants in: Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, Florida, and Washington, D.C.
Easy. Virtual. From Home.
All participation can be completed from home, and all materials are provided.
If you join, you will:

Be Part of Something Bigger
When families are represented in research, everyone benefits.
Your participation helps researchers:
- Understand how real-world experiences affect breast milk

- Generate data that supports healthier futures for parents and babies
Your milk tells a story — and that story can help shape better care.
