This week is Human Milk Banking Week

We heard from Elizabeth Brierley – From Milk Matters. This week is Human Milk Banking Week. Milk Matters is a breastmilk bank, which gives babies without access to breastmilk from their own mothers the immeasurable gift of donated pasteurized breastmilk. Milk Matters feels very strongly about informing the public and all related parties of the advantages of breastfeeding. It is reported that Breastmilk is the best food for a baby. Babies do not need any other foods or water, except breastmilk until they are 6 months old but Lizzie explained more. For more information contact Milk Matters on (021) 659 5599 or visit www.milkmatters.org.za
