Breast Milk Donation In India: How Lactating Women Can Save Another Infant’s Life

For a newborn baby, the most important thing is getting the right nutrition at the right time. However, not all new mothers are in a position to breastfeed their babies soon after childbirth. There are numerous reasons that may cause their milk to be unfit for their newborn. In situations like these, human milk banks come in as saviours. Breast milk donation in India may sound like a new concept but it’s been around for at least three decades. The first human milk bank was set up in Mumbai on November 27, 1989, at Sion Hospital. It was, in fact, the very first human milk bank in Asia.

Even though this life-saving practice has been around for so long, there isn’t enough awareness about the matter, especially among new and soon-to-be moms. So, today we’re going to answer some of the most common questions around breast milk donation in India.

What is a human milk bank?

Just like a blood bank works with blood, a human milk bank is a service that collects, screens, and stores breast milk from healthy lactating mothers. This service is usually attached to hospitals and nursing homes for milk to be readily available for newborn babies. The milk undergoes strict screening tests to ensure that it is nutritionally healthy and fit for newborn babies.

Who can be a milk donor?

Healthy lactating women who wish to donate their milk need to undergo certain screening tests for the following concerns:

  • HIV, VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test), and hepatitis
  • Drug and medication interactions
  • Evidence of heavy alcohol interaction
  • Communicable diseases that may be passed on to the baby through the milk

Once the medical practitioner clears the lactating woman for the above concerns, she can then be considered an eligible milk donor.

How does one become a breast milk donor?

Before becoming a milk donor, a lactating mother should first take her own baby into consideration. Only if the mother has enough to keep her baby fully fed, she can be considered as an eligible milk donor. The mother can either donate freshly pumped milk or also choose to donate duly dated frozen milk up to 10 months since the date of pumping.

While the process for signing up to become a breast milk donor varies from bank to bank, the common practice involves the following steps:

  • Fill up an online donor consent form
  • Submit a medical survey detailing any and all previous medical histories
  • Submit blood tests reports for HIV, VDRL, HbsAg, and HCV or as requested by the concerned milk bank

Once the application is processed by the milk bank and the applicant is approved as an eligible donor, they can expect to be contacted by the bank. Since the donated milk will be used to feed severely ill and premature babies, it is essential that the health quotient of the milk is verified by professionals. Thus, the donor would also be required to get confirmation forms signed by their doctor and their own baby’s paediatrician to confirm that the mother and child are healthy and the milk is safe for donation. A DNA sample may also be collected for matching the donated milk with the donor.

Once all required tests and confirmations are completed and the donor has been verified as healthy and eligible, the milk bank will share all necessary steps that need to be followed for pumping, storing, and shipping the milk marked for donation. Upon receiving the milk, the bank will pasteurise it to remove any virus/bacteria to make it fit for consumption.
