why share your breast milk?

frequently asked questions
The primary reason for urging the use of human donated milk is centered around nutritional value. Human milk is easier for a premature baby to digest and contains essential fats that are crucial to the development of the baby’s brain and neurologic tissues. Formula is generally a processed (and sometimes fortified) form of cow’s milk. Many premature and low-birth-weight infants, whose digestive systems may not be fully formed, have a difficult time processing the proteins in cow’s milk, and may develop intestinal infections as a result.
