Conclusions
Although mothers surveyed were highly likely to accept the practice of human milk banking, awareness, knowledge, and experience with this topic was limited. Given that donor human milk is becoming a more popular alternative feeding option for newborns without access to mother’s milk, it is paramount to promote human milk banking and the advantages of DHM to attract donor mothers and potential recipients. Proper characterization of potential donors and recipients is essential for administrating successful promotional campaigns on human milk banking. The inclusion of healthcare providers in championing not only for breastfeeding but also human milk banking could positively impact the number of potential donors and users as well as the sustainability of HMBs.
