The Rogers Hixon Ontario Human Milk Bank, based at Mount Sinai Hospital, collects and pasteurizes surplus milk donated by nursing mothers. The milk is then dispensed by prescription to NICU babies, who don’t have access to a full supply of mother’s milk. Thomas Klages was one of those babies. For preemies like Thomas, mother’s milk is more than food. It protects them from life-threatening infections while helping them develop and adjust to life outside the womb.
