My question is have any of you had a patient who recieved ban
ked
human milk? Did you feel it was beneficial, and do you think there is demand
for more milk banks?
Now that I look at your questions again, I don't really have answers for
either of them. There might be useful information for you on the HMBANA (Human
Milk Banking Association of North America) website that I believe is hmbana.org.
I am not personally sure how much demand there is for pasteurized, banked
milk. It seems to be the rare physician who is aware that it even exists and is
available. Since a prescripton is required, this can be an obstacle (as well
as $ and other issues) even for the mom who is extremely dedicated to
providing human milk for her baby.
I know that the Denver MMB has a newsletter (and I imagine the others do,
too) that describes some of the recipients and how they have benefited from
receiving donor milk. Their number is 303-869-1888 if you wish to contact them.
