The Importance and Benefits of Human Milk Banking - Jonathan Bautista

All babies deserve access to the best nutrition possible. For very low birthweight babies, breast milk is not just the best nutritional source, it can be a medical necessity. But not all mothers are able to breastfeed. Human Milk Banks provide a valuable service to ensure the most fragile infants have access to human milk to help them heal and thrive when mom’s own milk isn’t available or not enough to feed her baby.

Objectives: 

• Gain an understanding of Human Milk Banks and the operations
• Learn about the benefits of human donor milk
• Raise awareness of the continuous need for donor human milk
