H\u00e9ma Qu\u00e9bec has opened the first mothers\u2019 breast milk food bank in Quebec. As of May 20, infants born extremely prematurely have had access to donated breast milk. <\/p>\n

Hospitals such as Laval\u2019s Cit\u00e9 de la sant\u00e9 superhospital<\/i> have partnered with H\u00e9ma Qu\u00e9bec for donation and distribution. Participating hospitals are recruiting for the milk bank at the same time as they take registration for their public blood bank. That will permit mothers who plan to give birth to sign up for both at the same time. <\/p>\n

Non-smoking mothers in good overall health who want to donate their milk must be nursing and able to produce extra milk and meet other eligibility criteria. <\/p>\n

Once they qualify, these donors will collect and freeze their milk at home before they send it to H\u00e9ma Qu\u00e9bec. The donated milk is then processed, pasteurized and assessed for its nutritional value. <\/p>\n

The hospitals require more than 3,700 litres a year to meet the needs of preterm babies born at 32 weeks’ gestation or earlier, who cannot be nursed by their mother. Hospital administrators estimate that they will need 300 donors to respond to this demand. <\/p>\n

The H\u00e9ma-Qu\u00e9bec Foundation has partly funded an initial investment of $800,000 to integrate the Public Mothers’ Milk Bank into H\u00e9ma Qu\u00e9bec’s operations. H\u00e9ma Qu\u00e9bec’s Public Mothers’ Milk Bank is the fourth facility of its kind in Canada. Three other breast milk banks are currently operating in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto.
