Momcozy's Generous Support: Enhancing Milk Donation for Premature Infants

Momcozy Donates Wearable Breast Pumps to The King's Daughters Milk Bank

In a remarkable initiative to support breastfeeding mothers and their newborns, Momcozy, a frontrunner in innovative lactation solutions, has made a significant donation of 50 wearable breast pumps to The King's Daughters Milk Bank at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters (CHKD) in Norfolk, Virginia. This donation consists of 25 Momcozy M5 Breast Pumps and 25 Momcozy V1 Breast Pumps, designed to enhance lactation support for busy mothers who donate their milk for premature infants.

Momcozy’s contribution underscores its commitment to accessible breastfeeding solutions that cater to modern families. The King's Daughters Milk Bank serves a vital role in providing lifesaving nourishment for premature and medically fragile infants across the United States. Remarkably, about 80% of milk donors at this facility are working mothers who often need to pump breast milk during their demanding shifts.

The wearable breast pumps from Momcozy can greatly ease the pumping process for these contributors, allowing them to express milk comfortably and consistently, even while on the go. With the generosity of these mothers, a substantial amount of human milk is made available for infants in immediate need, especially in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs).

The Impact of Donated Human Milk

Each ounce of Pasteurized Donated Human Milk (PDHM) can benefit up to four premature infants in NICUs. On average, a donor associated with The King's Daughters Milk Bank contributes over 800 ounces during their donation period. Therefore, Momcozy's recent donation can potentially generate upwards of 42,000 ounces of human milk, translating to around 168,000 individual feedings for infants who require specialized care in NICUs. Such generous contributions can mean the difference between life and death for vulnerable newborns.

Breast milk is often described as crucial medicine for preterm infants, as it can reduce mortality risks by as much as 80%. It also helps minimize complications like severe bowel infections and chronic lung diseases that affect fragile babies. As Eden Cali, the U.S. PR Lead at Momcozy, remarked, “We are honored to collaborate with The King's Daughters Milk Bank. We recognize the challenges working mothers face in pumping breast milk. By providing wearable pumps, we hope to facilitate their efforts to support NICUs with much-needed human milk.”

Support from The King's Daughters Milk Bank

The response from The King's Daughters Milk Bank personnel has been overwhelmingly positive. Ashlynn Baker, the Director of Milk Bank Services, expressed gratitude for the donation, saying: “These wearable pumps will Create significant improvements for the milk donors we support and help to increase the supply of pasteurized donor human milk for infants in NICUs.” Such mutual collaboration amplifies the impact of each organization, advancing the mission to ensure equitable access to human milk and proper lactation support.

In conclusion, Momcozy's efforts serve as an inspiring example of how innovation in consumer products can play a crucial role in health care and community support, reinforcing the message that every drop counts in nurturing the lives of premature infants.
