New mother’s milk collection site opens at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital

Hailey Stanford, a registered nurse, has a sticker on her water bottle that reads “Milk Maker,” and she says she’s proud of that sticker. Stanford, a mother of two, has three freezers at home to store her excess breastmilk. The mother/baby nurse at Houston Methodist Childbirth Center at Sugar Land recently became the first mother to donate breastmilk at Fort Bend County’s newest milk collection site. Her donation of 1,740 ounces nearly filled the donation refrigerator, according to a news release from the hospital.
