About us
Why is breastfeeding important?
Apart from fostering a close and healthy bond between the mother and the child, breastfeeding holds multiple other benefits too. It helps improve a child’s immunity greatly, especially in the early years.
It also helps a child’s growth and strength during the early stages of development. Further, it has significant benefits for the mother as well. It helps lower cancer risk for mothers while also improving overall health.
What is human milkbanking?
Human milk banking is the process through which breast milk produced by mothers is stored under hygienic conditions so that it maybe of use later for their child or other needy children.
Human milk banking helps both mothers who are expressing excess milk and mothers who are unable to produce milk. The eventual beneficiaries are the children who need this nourishment for optimal development
Why Human Milk Banking?
- Evidence from the world over shows that breastfeeding is the single most important intervention to ensure child survival.
- The Government of Bharat recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of the newborn’s life.
- The baby is fed only breast milk, and that no other food/fluids including water are given during the first six months of life.
- Helps in administrative supervision by medical staff.
- Presence of human milk banks in the neonatal units is associated with elevated rates of exclusive breastfeeding rates in very low birth weight (VLBW) babies.
