Human Milk Banking: An Ounce of Liquid Gold to Save a Life

Dr. Suman Lora

Abstract: Did you know that just one ounce of milk provides up to THREE feedings for premature and/or medically fragile babies? There's a reason they call it liquid gold. The best alternative to mother?s own milk is donated human milk and to provide donated human milk, we need human milk banks.For fragile babies, human milk is lifesaving medicine. It?s something that a mother, even with all the money in the world, may not be able to provide her baby without someone else?s generosity. Materials and Methods: Several electronic databases, including PubMed, Wiley, Springer, Google Scholar, Web of Science, WHO, Wikipedia, Research Gate, Forbes, Medline, Healthline were searched for this article.
