Local mothers donate breast milk, give premature babies fighting chance at life

RHINELANDER - Doctors think breast milk can give premature or sick babies a fighting chance at life. However, not all moms can produce their own milk. That's where the Milk Bank comes into the picture. It gives hundreds of babies breast milk donated by mothers across the country.

One of the Milk Bank's very successful donation centers is in the Northwoods.

All breast milk donations from the Northwoods end up in the milk depot at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. It's rarely empty thanks to mothers like Amy Bormann.
