Human donor milk and human donor-milk products have become increasingly critical “medical” therapies for premature NICU babies weighing 1,250 grams or less at birth. Conclusive data and lived experience as NICU Nurse Leaders affirms the clinical benefits of human milk, most especially in this fragile cohort. Due to the clinical success of human donor milk and human donor-milk products, there has been an enormous growth in the human milk industry over the last six years. While this is potentially great news for fragile preemies with more human milk available, it also elevates risk as more and more companies and milk banks enter the market in a completely unregulated environment (human milk is currently regulated as a food). Considering that human milk, as a biologic, has the inherent risk of transmitting pathogens, adulterants, nicotine, and many other substances, we find ourselves in a time of considering safer methods. In this webinar, we will look at all the risks secondary to the industry’s growth. Together we’ll evaluate what is currently being done to mitigate these risks, and what strategies we can put in place to advocate together to protect these tiny patients moving forward.
