Prescription Milk: Trailer

We need to combine the advanced medical technology with the human technology and have both work together to save the lives of babies born prematurely. Feeding premature babies donated human milk is life saving.

The latest statistics show that 1 in 8 babies are born prematurely. This equals about 500,000 babies a year, with 40% of the babies not making it through their first year of life.

Liquid Gold - another lovely name for human milk. Mothers donate their liquid gold, their milk because they know that without the immune factors and antibodies provided from their milk, babies will die. WE need for mothers to donate their milk and we need for hospitals and insurance companies to support these efforts.
