    Abstract

Milk banks in Norway have a long tradition of using raw milk. This is a 
practice the authors hope to continue as they see it as the best choice 
until a child's own mothers' milk production is sufficient. Not only 
will the premature babies benefit from having milk from the bank, but if 
a mother, for any reason, can not supply her baby while it's in the 
hospital her baby should be offered milk from a bank. In Norway, with a 
high breastfeeding rate this can be done at many hospitals. /J Hum 
Lact./ 25*(*2*)*:206-210


I can't seem to find more current guidelines. Does anyone know what the 
milk bank protocols are in Norway? Thanks so much!!
