“…Additionally, most participants believed that HMBs should be located near NICUs. Retrospective studies by Hosseini et al (2021) found that the frequencies of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), as well as mortality rates in premature infants, decreased after a HMB was launched in an NICU in Iran. Jahan et al (2022) and Gürel & Erenel (2020) reported that HMBs near NICUs are important for meeting the needs of premature and low-weight infants for human milk.…”

“…Human milk can be safely stored in HMBs after undergoing rigorous testing and pasteurization procedures. The provision of human milk from these banks serves as an important alternative for the treatment and care of preterm and low birth weight infants (Fonseca et al, 2021; Hosseini et al, 2021; Quigley et al, 2019; Sánchez Luna et al, 2021).…”

Background: Wet nursing and human milk banks are vital sources of human milk for infants unable to breastfeed. Research Aim: This study aims to determine the knowledge and opinions of neonatal intensive care unit nurses regarding wet-nursing and human milk banks in Türkiye. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 219 neonatal intensive care unit nurses using an online survey comprising 20 questions. The data were collected between August and September 2021. Results: Among the participants, 64.4% ( n = 141) expressed that they would be a wet-nurse and 59.8% ( n = 131) would search for a wet-nurse if necessary. Some, 47.0% ( n = 103) of participants did not know if there were any human milk banks in Türkiye, 53.9% ( n = 118) would like to be a donor if human milk banks were established, and 71.7% ( n = 157) stated that the establishment of human milk banks should be supported. Religious concerns were the basis for reluctance to donate milk to human milk banks for 60% ( n = 51) of the participants. Knowledge was greater and opinions about wet-nursing and human milk banks were more positive for participants with higher education, more time in the neonatal intensive care unit, or work at a tertiary care center. Conclusion: The approaches of neonatal intensive care unit nurses towards personally being wet-nurses and milk sharing were generally positive, although more information about human milk banks is needed. Religious beliefs are an important consideration when providing information about milk sharing.

“…The accessibility of a human milk bank (HMB) could be an important factor associated with initiating ETF. The benefits of implementation of an HMB in NICUs have been reported by several studies ( Table S1 ) [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. To date, seldom studies report the influence on growth outcome of these very preterm infants after the implementation of an HMB in NICUs.…”

Growth of Very Preterm Infants in a Low-Resourced Rural Setting after Affiliation with a Human Milk Bank

et al. 2022

The extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) of very preterm infants has been associated with long-term complications and neurodevelopmental problems. EUGR has been reported at higher rates in low resource settings. There is limited research investigating how metropolitan human milk banks contribute to the growth outcomes of very preterm infants cared in rural areas. The setting of this study is located at a rural county in Taiwan and affiliated with the Taiwan Southern Human Milk Bank. Donor human milk was provided through a novel supplemental system. A renewal nutritional protocol was initiated as a quality improvement project after the affiliated program. This study aimed to compare the clinical morbidities and growth outcome at term equivalent age (TEA) of preterm infants less than 33 weeks of gestational age before (Epoch-I, July 2015–June 2018, n = 40) and after the new implementation (Epoch-II, July 2018–December 2020, n = 42). The Epoch-II group significantly increased in bodyweight z-score at TEA ((−0.02 ± 1.00) versus Epoch-I group (−0.84 ± 1.08), p = 0.002). In multivariate regression models, the statistical difference between two epochs in bodyweight z-score changes from birth to TEA was still noted. Modern human milk banks may facilitate the nutritional protocol renewal in rural areas and improve the growth outcomes of very preterm infants cared for. Establishing more distribution sites of milk banks should be encouraged.

Objectives: To investigate Syrian mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and opinions on milk banks and raise awareness of the opening of milk banks in the region. Methods: Our study was conducted hospitals in North Syria between 02/12/2020 and 02/03/2021. 536 women included in our study. Our questionnaire, which was written in Arabic to assess knowledge, opinions and attitudes toward milk donation and milk banks, was administered to participants during face-to-face interviews. Results: All participants were female and Muslim, with a mean age of 29.79∓7.69 years. 47.2% of the participants agreed that a milk bank should be established, while 37.5% of the participants were against it. 81.3% women favored establishing a milk bank said that they would use the milk bank if they could not breastfeed (p=0.000). 49.4% were against establishing milk banks due to religious inconvenience. 41.5% of participants who favored establishing a milk bank and 14.4% of those who were against it indicated that the facility would have a positive impact on them under the guarantee of Turkey (p=0.000). Conclusion: Due to religious views in Muslim societies, there is a negative attitude toward milk banks. Therefore, establishing robust registration systems, involving religious leaders in the process, providing accurate information, and educating the society will raise awareness and change the negative view.
