Approximately 12.9 babies are born prematurely every year.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month and Medela wants to help raise awareness! Starting on November 1, you can vote for your favorite Level three NICU. We all know that breastmilk can reduce the risk for complications in premature babies. Medela wants to help mothers provide breastmilk to their babies because research shows that the more breastmilk they receive, the better outcome for babies.

To honor PrematurityAwareness Month, Medela is hosting a Virtual Human Milk Collection Campaign. For every person that registers to vote, a milliliter of milk will be added to the virtual collection.Then the 4 NICUs with the most votes will receive at least $5,000 worth of Medela products or education services for their NICUs.
