[ID] 879 [Interest Areas] Public Health Worker [Comment] Especially in the medical setting, a higher value should be placed on using human milk for human newborns. This is a crucial time for infants. Breastfeeding mothers should be able to be screened locally to donate locally to better enable hospitals to use human milk for sick/premature or healthy supplemented infants. If the medical community clarifies to a postpartum mother how this can benefit her child, not only will she value her own contribution to her baby's milk, it can also open her eyes to the vast difference in formulated infant milk vs natural. In other words, if a doctor tells her that he would like the newborn to use banked milk vs formula while in the hospital, that mother will be more likely to continue her own breastfeeding (or pumping) while buying/using less formula once at home.
