A human milk bank is a service that collects, processes, and distributes donated human milk to meet the nutritional needs of babies who are unable to receive milk from their own mothers. The milk is typically donated by lactating women who have excess milk and is then pasteurized and tested for safety before being distributed to hospitals, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and families in need.
Human milk banks aim to:
- Provide lifesaving nutrition to premature, critically ill, or orphaned babies
- Support breastfeeding mothers with milk supply issues
- Promote breastfeeding and its benefits
The milk is screened for various infectious diseases, and the donors undergo a thorough screening process to ensure the safety of the milk. The milk is then frozen and stored for later use.
Human milk banks play a vital role in supporting infant health and well-being, especially for those who require specialized care.
