Brazil’s milk banking program started in the 1980s and now serves as a model for other countries
Five days after the early delivery of her baby last month at a municipal hospital, Talita Alves Araújo Lourenço sat in a chair while a nurse helped her express breast milk into a glass jar.
A nurse helps a woman express her breast milk into a jar for later use by the Human Milk Bank at the Instituto Fernandes Figueira hospital in Rio de Janeiro for babies in need of nourishment. Brazil’s breast milk banking program has gained international recognition.Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited.It would be a few more days before Araújo’s child gained enough weight to be released from the Hospital Municipal Lourenço Jorge - Maternidade Leila Diniz.
As needed, a single mother’s milk is paired up with a baby who hospital workers believe would be the best candidate for it. For instance, if there’s a baby who needs to gain weight, it might get a more calorie-heavy milk while another baby with low levels of calcium in the blood could benefit from a low acidity milk.
Also, Almeida found that the largest cost of running a bank, about 85 percent, was simply to buy medical grade glass products to store the milk. Instead, he switched to repurposed food containers, such as mayonnaise and coffee jars, which were just as safe and could be donated. Instead of foreign-made pasteurization machines, he also started using locally made laboratory food testing equipment, which were cheaper and could perform the same function to determine the nutritional value of the milk.
