Mary Rose Tully, MPH, IBCLC

University of North Carolina Women’s Hospital, 101 Manning Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA

Donor human milk is used to treat and protect the health and development of preterm and term infants, and occasionally to treat illnesses in older children and adults. When donor human milk is in short supply nationally, decisions must be made with regard to the priority of recipients. This article reviews the importance of donor human milk in the hospital setting, describes the factors that are considered by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America when prioritizing eligible recipients if there is a shortage of donor milk, and discusses howhuman milk should be stored and handled in the hospital setting.

Key Words: donor milk • milk banking • human milk • prematurity • infant feeding
