Guangzhou breast milk bank saving sick babies
Share - WeChat
China's first breast milk bank — based in Guangzhou — has helped cure 365 seriously ill babies in the past five years.
Since the facility was opened at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center in 2013, 811 mothers have donated more than 1,460 liters of breast milk.
Liu Xihong, a childhood nutrition expert in charge of the bank, said breast milk is not only food for babies but also medicine for sick infants.
"Feeding babies who are seriously ill with breast milk, which has no side effects, is also a first-aid measure," she said. "Breast milk is the best food for babies under 6 months old. It's particularly important to premature infants."
