“…A study in India showed that the number of deliveries was inversely related to milk donation, and for the donors that have fewer children, milk donation is linearly related to education and was not affected by income. 34 Fluid intake, type of diet, and presence of negative emotions are mentioned in the literature as factors influencing the increase or decrease in milk production, and milk banks can have a positive effect on milk donations by supporting the donors. 19 In a study on 27 donors, most of whom were white, educated, married, and with middle income, 5 reasons were identified as to why women with a surplus of milk come to the decision to share their milk with a peer rather than donate to a milk bank: a strong belief in the value of mother milk, unexpected versus planned donation, sources of information regarding milk exchange, concerns and knowledge gaps about milk banks, and helping and connecting.…”

Introduction: Mother's own milk has long been accepted as the best source of nutrition for the newborn. In those cases where mother's milk is not available, the best choice is the human milk provided by selected donors. Human milk banks are the most institutionalized method of milk sharing and play a vital role for neonates that cannot be breastfed. This study aims at systematically reviewing factors influencing donation to human milk banks. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed on authentic electronic resources, including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science with no time limitation. To increase the sensitivity and to find additional studies for systematic review, the reference list of the published studies was examined as well. Data extraction and quality appraisal were carried out by two independent reviewers. The study was qualitatively summarized to generate descriptive and explanatory themes that emerged from the literature. Results: From a total of 1,157 articles, 31 met the inclusion criteria in which 64 factors are extracted. From these, 26 factors act as barriers and 38 factors act as facilitators of milk donation. Having excess milk, altruism, and helping other babies are found to be the most important facilitators of milk donation, while the most important barriers are religious and cultural concerns. Conclusion: Developing practical strategies to attract milk donors are crucial for successfully establishing human milk banks. These include providing reliable information regarding the milk bank goals and functions and developing breastfeeding polices with regard to differences in countries' contexts and trying to resolve any uncertainties regarding milk donation, especially those arising for religious concerns.

“…The World health Organization (WHO) recommends babies who can not receive breastmilk from their own mothers should receive breastmilk from another mother (donor milk) as another option (4,5). Donor breastmilk is defined as milk which is donated by another mother and processed by milk bank to be used by a receiver mother who can not nurse her baby (6,7). Especially in newborns who are preterm and who have other risks, feeding with donor milk is an efficient method for prevention of infectious diseases, and feeding tolerance, and cognitive functions and for other long-term health benefits (8,9).…”

Of the mothers, 41.6% were aware of milk banking, 71.3% were willing to receive milk bank services and 68.8% were willing to donate breastmilk. 62.2% of those who did not want to make donation stated risk of contagion as a reason, 8.2% of the participants had worked as wet-nurse before. Conclusions:Most mothers revealed positive approaches and opinions about establishment of milk banking and milk donation. However, there were some concerns due to the risk of infectious diseases and religious beliefs. Efforts should be made to raise awareness and mothers should be informed about the importance of breast milk and breastfeeding so that milk banks can be regarded as an additional choice.
