Why are Milk Banks Important for Neonatal Disorders?
For infants with neonatal disorders, such as prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and congenital defects, human milk is often the best source of nutrition and protection. Human milk has been shown to reduce the risk of infections, improve gut health, and support overall development. Therefore, milk banks are essential for providing these vulnerable infants with the optimal nutrition they need during their critical early days.
