What are the benefits of feeding premature newborn infants with banked human milk?

Banked human milk is the alternative for feeding premature newborns because it allows them to receive a diet consisting of exclusive human milk when the baby’s own mother's milk is unavailable, scarce or contraindicated.

It should be noted that BHM is superior to artificial formula.

Human milk banks should have standards and procedures in place to ensure that they provide sustainability, safety, and appropriate clinical and ethical use.

It is very important that all those women who breastfeed and wish to do so donate their milk to human milk banks, which provide premature, small or sick children with this essential nutrient for their survival and optimal development.
