Perception of breastfeeding mothers on breast milk donation and establishment of human breast milk bank in governmental teaching hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2018

Abstract

Human milk is uniquely appropriate to human infant both in its nutritional composition and non-nutritive bioactive factors that promote survival and healthy development. Now a day several well-established breast milk banks exist worldwide to provide donated breast milk, but now when we come to our country, no official breast milk bank or channel for milk donation has been established.
