About NorthernStar Mothers Milk Bank

Since we opened our doors, we have been a part of connecting babies, mothers and families to the life-saving benefits of donor human milk.

For us, this has been a journey of advocating for a future generation of healthy children. But for the many people who have donated milk, received milk or been part of our organization in some other way, we have been touched by your stories of community, of heart and of compassion.

We offer this space as a means to capture your story. If you choose to share in the space below, we will not share your story without your consent.

J	Julien DeSchutter on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A wonderful organization providing life saving milk for neonatal babies
A	Alisha Marie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such an amazing charity! They do incredible work. Glad to be a part of it.
B	Blair Anderson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such an outstanding idea and an increcible staff. I dont think NorthernStar receives enough recognition as to the service they provide to women and their families.
L	Lo Lamontagne on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I called for information on purchasing breast milk for my baby, the women started out by saying "it was very expensive and I probably couldn't afford it" it was incredibly rude. I could not believe a non profit would discourage people from buying from them, how do they expect to keep their services running? They should be more receptive to questions, no wonder Alberta has such a low rate of breast feeding, no one wants to give out information other than how much something costs rather than the process and the value to your baby's development! The women finally explained the process to me, next time don't assume the person calling can't afford it.
E	Erin Wallace on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Northern Star Mother's Milk Bank has been a saving grace for our family during a time of illness and need. We are so grateful that they exist as a safe source of breastmilk for babies and hope that in the future we will be in a position to help support this wonderful organization. In the meantime we are forever grateful to the organization, staff and donors for the support we have received during this difficult time.
C	Cara Bennett on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ After a recent medical emergency and unexpected diagnosis, I was told I that I would no longer able to breastfeed my 8 week old son, while undergoing treatment. I was aiming to keep him breastfed until 3 months old (or a little longer, if possible). This has now been made a possibility thanks to the wonderful staff at The NorthernStar Milk Bank. They were phenomenal to work with and so quick to get things organized and help us out. A true lifesaver in our time of need. THANK YOU
L	Lisa Peters on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not only did NorthernStar help with feeding my newborn breast milk (which my baby loved), they also provided me with helpful resources and support in getting my supply back after it dried up due to an unexpected, emergency hospital stay with my baby. Everyone was so helpful and understanding. It was the hope I needed in time of crisis and I will be forever grateful for their expertise.
