Human Milk Collection

Human milk collection involves safely expressing breast milk for later use. The process can be done manually by hand or with a breast pump, and aims to extract milk efficiently while maintaining cleanliness to prevent contamination. It’s important to wash hands and use sanitized containers. Proper technique helps ensure the milk’s nutritional quality and safety. Collected milk can then be stored in a cool or frozen environment for feeding the infant at a later time. This process supports breastfeeding, especially when direct feeding isn’t possible, and helps ensure the baby receives essential nutrients for healthy growth.
