For mothers with too little supply thanks to mothers with too much, the first breast milk depot recently opening in Florida, reports CBS Miami.
The Gathering Place, a maternity center in Miami's Biscayne Corridor, started officially accepting breast milk donations as of February 19.
Mothers, who are first screened via interviews and blood tests, can drop off surplus milk at the center Monday through Friday, 11 a.m to 7 p.m, reports the Miami Herald.
The milk is then sent to a facility in North Texas that pasteurizes the milk to remove bacteria and tests for various viruses. It is the closest place to treat milk that comes from Florida, according to the Sun Senitnel.
