What is a milk bank?
Quick answer: A milk bank is a nonprofit (HMBANA network in North America) that screens donors, pasteurizes donated breast milk, and dispenses it by prescription, overwhelmingly to premature and hospitalized infants.
In practice
Donating is free including blood work, with lifetime minimums around 100 to 150 oz; see how donation works. Buying screened milk requires a prescription and NICU-level pricing, which is why banked milk is medicine first, marketplace second.
