“…This type of method makes the situation worrisome, because the preference for this object is related, As for factors that interfere with milk production, it was noted that the aspects most cited by donors, such as fluid intake, type of diet, presence of negative emotions, frequency of expressing and suckling of the baby, are mentioned in the literature (7,13) as factors influencing the increase or decrease in milk production, indicating agreement between these responses and the scientific evidence. However, contraceptive use, the mother going out and the return to labor activity could be considered subjective variants that every woman faces in her everyday life.…”

“…To offer humanized support, to explain how to identify excess milk, or to suggest that they make a visit to the HMB to be examined by a technically skilled professional can serve as elements that contribute to reduce difficulties, doubts and waivers in the act of donation (4,7) . It is considered that the performance of visits by the HMB workers, outside the days on which collections are made, could ease the doubts arising from the practice of donation and ensure that the donated human milk meets the requirements determined by the technical standards.…”

The study aimed to characterize the behavior of human milk donation and to describe the informal social and formal institutional support, according to reports from women donors.It is an exploratory, cross-sectional, descriptive study using domicile interviews based on structured and semi-structured scripts. The participants were 36 women enrolled in two human milk banks of the public health system of the Federal District. Statistical analysis of quantitative data and categorical content analysis of qualitative data were performed.Categories of reasons that most influenced the frequency of expressing were: food, time availability, negative emotions and fluid intake. The manual expressing technique was reported as predominant. The use of breast shells was cited by almost a third of the donors.Most frequent suggestions for improving institutional support were more attention and support from the milk banks for the donor. The study may serve as a stimulus for the implementation of technical and political strategies to encourage this practice.

La extracción de leche manual fue referida como técnica predominante. El uso de la "conchita" fue citado por casi un tercio de las donadoras. Sugerencias más frecuentes para mejorar el apoyo institucional fueron mayor atención y apoyo de los bancos de leche a las donadoras. El estudio podrá servir de estímulo para implementación de estrategias técnicas y políticas que favorezcan esa práctica.

Human milk banks play an essential role by providing human milk to infants who would otherwise not be able to receive human milk. The largest group of recipients are premature infants who derive very substantial benefits from it. Human milk protects premature infants from necrotizing enterocolitis and from sepsis, two devastating medical conditions. Milk banks collect, screen, store, process, and distribute human milk. Donating women usually nurse their own infants and have a milk supply that exceeds their own infants' needs. Donor women are carefully selected and are screened for HIV-1, HIV-2, human T-cell leukemia virus 1 and 2, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis. In the milk bank, handling, storing, processing, pooling, and bacterial screening follow standardized algorithms. Heat treatment of human milk diminishes anti-infective properties, cellular components, growth factors, and nutrients. However, the beneficial effects of donor milk remain significant and donor milk is still highly preferable in comparison to formula.

“…In the infancy during which growth and development continues with the highest velocity, adequate and balanced nutrition is provided by breastmilk of the mother for each baby (1,2). In the nursing period, exlusive breastfeeding and total nursing time are affected negatively by the problems arising sometimes from the mother and sometimes from the baby (3). The World health Organization (WHO) recommends babies who can not receive breastmilk from their own mothers should receive breastmilk from another mother (donor milk) as another option (4,5).…”
