Why the demand for frozen mother milk?
In many cases breast milk is sent to health care providers and hospitals. An England company is providing breast milk online to women having problems in breast feeding. Due to this, the demand for breast milk has increased worldwide. It is being told that sick people, bodybuilders and people taking healthy diet are also consuming breast milk.
To obtain breast milk, a shield is placed on the nipple and then milk is expressed manually or with the help of an electric pump. There are many types of breast pumps. Such as: manual breast pump, battery operated breast pump, electric breast pump, bulb style breast pump and used based pump. Hands should be washed with soap and water before expressing breast milk from the container. It should then be stored in a clean, lidded food-grade glass container or hard plastic container that is not made from the chemical bisphenol A (BPA).
This is the legal process in India
There is a legal process for breast milk donation in India. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has issued guidelines to make breast milk donation safe and effective. Under this, donor women have to undergo some health tests to ensure that their milk is safe for the child. Before donating breast milk, the donor woman has to undergo a health test, in which she is checked for HIV, hepatitis and other infectious diseases.
What are the criteria for giving breast milk?
This is done to ensure that there are no harmful bacteria or viruses in the milk. For breast milk donation, the age of the donor should be between 21 to 35 years. This age has been decided because at this age women have more breast milk. The woman donating breast milk must be completely healthy. If the woman is suffering from any serious illness or is pregnant, she is not considered eligible to donate milk. If a woman has menstrual or other health related problems during breast milk donation, she is prevented from donating milk.
