The development of a human milk bank with nursing mothers as donors of human milk is described. Breast milk is collected manually, and as aseptically as possible, by the mother in the privacy of her home, and the milk is transported frozen to the milk bank by a member of the Nursing Mothers' Association of Australia. A sample of expressed milk is also collected and sent to the Microbiology Department of the Australian Government Health Laboratory for bacteriological examination. The milk bank is suitably located in the paediatric ward of the Townsville General Hospital. Human milk which has been classed as bacteriologically safe is given untreated to hospitalized infants in preference to formula milk. The result is a human milk bank which is administered under medical and microbiological control.
