Louisiana's Only Milk Bank | Baton Rouge News

A life-saving milk bank in Louisiana is making waves—Ochsner Baton Rouge collects extra breast milk from moms, sending it to New Orleans to help premature babies in NICUs across the state and even Mississippi. Opened in 2018, it’s now meeting local demand instead of relying on out-of-state supplies. Human milk isn’t just nutritious—it’s packed with antibodies that boost immunity and digests easier than formula. Plus, breastfeeding benefits moms too: stronger bonds, fewer infections, and lower cancer risk. If you’re a mom with extra milk, donating could be your next big public health win.
