Donor Human Milk

Donor human milk refers to breast milk that is provided by nursing mothers who donate extra milk to help feed babies in need, especially premature or ill infants who may not be able to consume their mother's milk. This milk is collected, screened, and pasteurized by milk banks to ensure safety. Donor milk is often the best alternative when a mother cannot supply enough milk for her baby, as it contains important nutrients and antibodies that support healthy growth and development. It is a valuable resource in neonatal care units and for families seeking to provide optimal nutrition for their infants.
