This bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a three-year pilot program providing financial assistance to help eligible individuals purchase infant formula and donor milk. The program targets parents and guardians of infants under one year old who have documented medical reasons for not breastfeeding, including postpartum women with diagnosed medical conditions, those affected by adoption or maternal mortality, and parents of infants with feeding difficulties or allergies. The Secretary can distribute assistance through vouchers, reimbursements, or grants to local organizations, and must conduct annual evaluations and report to Congress on the program's effectiveness. The bill authorizes $15 million in funding for the program across fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with the program set to terminate three years after enactment.
