Sko681 40 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi all, I was wondering if any of you have any experience dealing with donor breast milk. Our maternity wants to have it available (only when needed) and of course, this has fallen on my desk. If an infant is in need they would aquire the milk from another local hospital and then want to have it stored in the blood bank. I am just wondering how it is handled in other hospitals and is it really necessary to have it stored in the BB. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 22 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 There are strict regulations about storage of breast milk in New York state. You can read them at: http://www.wadsworth.org/labcert/regaffairs/clinical/Part52.pdf. Breast milk should be handled the same as blood and/or tissue. Hope this link helps you.
