 Abstract

Forms of human milk banking and donation have been present for more than a
century worldwide, but, since 1985, the Human Milk Banking Association of
North America (HM BANA) has established guidelines to make the use of
donor's breast milk safe and the second best form of feeding to maternal
breast milk for a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) infant. The Indiana
Mother's Human Milk Bank provides an extensive and meticulous process of
selecting breast milk donors. The process begins with a phone interview
with a potential donor and includes the review of the donor's medical
records, blood laboratory screening, medication and dietary intake, as well
as consent from the donor's pediatrician. The milk bank follows steps of
collecting, storing, and receiving the breast milk in accordance with the
guidelines of the HM BANA. Pasteurization is the method used to ensure the
proper heating and cooling of breast milk. Despite the rigorous
pasteurization method, the donor's breast milk will not lose most of the
important beneficial components needed for sick or ill NICU infants. Every
batch of pasteurized breast milk will be cultured for any possible
contamination and shipped to NICUs after it has been cleared by laboratory
testing.
