On World Food Day, we’re celebrating the life-saving gift of human milk and the incredible generosity of donor moms who make it possible. Together, we’re nourishing the smallest among us. #WorldFoodDay #DonorMilk #BreastMilkIsMedicine #NorthernStarMilkBank

💙 Thank you to the @UCalgary nursing students who toured NorthernStar! They shared takeaways on the impact of donor milk, bridging science & community, and the meaning of our Starry Night wall. #FutureNurses #DonorMilk

Why pool donor milk? By combining milk from 4–6 donors & using our human milk analyzer, we measure fat, protein & calories while increasing the diversity of antibodies, enzymes & HMOs—giving fragile babies tailored nutrition. #DonorMilk #NorthernStarMothersMilkBank
