Human Milk Sharing Today

Overview

Human milk sharing is not a new concept and is arranged through human milk banks and online peer sharing sites. Together we will explore human milk sharing today and the implications for practice.

Full Description

This workshop covers the history of milk sharing, talks about human milk sharing today, where it occurs, the risks and benefits. Human milk sharing is not a new concept, but many professionals are not aware of human milk banks, or how many parents donate and receive milk online. Together we'll explore what this looks like, widen knowledge, and consider local policy.
