“…Drip milk is passively released during a feed from the nonnursing breast or collected in shells between feeds. Drip milk has been found to contain less fat and other nutrients than hand expressed milk (Stocks et al, 1983 ). For this reason and the risk of contamination, drip milk is not recommended for donation.…”

Mother's/parent milk is the optimal way to feed infants and when unavailable, supplemental donor human milk is preferred. A safe supply of donor human milk should be available for all low birthweight infants for whom it has been shown to reduce morbidity. Human milk banking has been in existence for more than a century, although largely shut down during the 1980s, primarily due to fears of human immunodeficiency virus transmission. With renewed security in milk banking, has come an exponential growth in human donor milk use. Guidelines for milk banking have been published in many countries including Australia, France, India, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the nonprofit organization PATH. The European Milk Bank Association and the Human Milk Banking Association of North America have also published recommendations for milk banks throughout Europe and North America, respectively. Although there is variability among these guidelines, there is general consensus on quality control measures required to provide a supply of safe donor milk. These measures include effective donor screening, safe collection, transport and storage of milk, standardized pasteurization and bacteriological testing. Operational considerations are also critical, such as appropriate training for staff, equipment maintenance and cleaning, protocol and record keeping and inspection and accreditation. Clearly delineating these key quality control measures provides an excellent foundation for establishing international guidelines. Acceptable modifications must be established for low‐ and middle‐income countries that do not have sufficient resources; overly burdensome guidelines may make establishing a milk bank unnecessarily prohibitive. This review presents a summary of current best practices for human milk banking.

“…28,30,72 Drip milk is acceptable for one' s own infant when it is used as an occasional tide-over feeding in the mother' s temporary absence; however, it is not appropriate for donor milk. The mother should be instructed in washing her hands and her breasts before handling the equipment or pumping.…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10] In recent years, donor human milk banks have demonstrated remarkable growth, 11 as clinicians have come to value the importance of banked human milk not only as a nutritional option but also as a potentially life-saving therapy. While donor milk banks have increasingly contributed to scientific research on human milk, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] these banks are designed for clinical use and do not fully meet requirements that are distinct to research (Table 1). Laboratory scientists have historically established their own research milk banks through informal donations of milk from lactating women or "leftover" milk that was not fed to infants in the hospital setting, but like clinical banks, they have typically lacked standardized collection of milk and information or written, informed consent from the mother to use her milk for research purposes.…”

The Development of a Research Human Milk Bank

Although there are well-established clinical human milk banks in the United States, there are no milk banks specifically intended to foster research on human milk. The authors' goal was to establish a milk bank with a core data set to support exploratory and hypothesis-driven studies on human milk. Donations to the Cincinnati Children's Research Human Milk Bank are accepted within the context of ongoing, hypothesis-driven research or on an ad hoc basis. Donors must give informed consent, and scientists wishing to use the samples must have Institutional review board approval for their use. Development of more research human milk banks can potentially provide resources for multidisciplinary collaboration and advance the study of human milk and lactation.
