Donor Breast Milk

Share Love, Save Lives

Breast milk is the fundamental source of protein and other vital components for a baby. This allows mothers to ensure their babies get all the nutrients they need to grow. However, there are circumstances where a mother may face challenges in breastfeeding or producing sufficient milk.

Common reasons may include maternal stress or anxiety, medical conditions, previous breast surgeries, and problems associated with glandular issues. In such circumstances where nursing mothers may face challenges in breastfeeding, donor human milk-based products emerge as a ray of hope. At Neokare, we aim to provide optimal donor-human milk-based products to support your baby’s journey to good health and well-being.

Once the donor passes the screening, a milk collection set will be sent to the approved donor address for collection of milk, this process is followed under strict guidelines.

Milk Collected In a Cold Chain

The expressed donor human milk is collected in a cold chain, to prevent the bacterial growth in the milk that is associated with the temperature.

Milk Transportation Process

The collected milk will then be transported to our facilities for further detailed processing and testing.

Deep Freezer Storage

After transporting the milk to our storage facility it will be stored at -20 degrees centigrade in our industry-leading deep freezer storage units.

Milk Pasteurisation

The stored milk will then be pasteurised consistently by strictly adhering to WHO guidelines.

QC Analysis

After pasteurisation the milk is then sent for the final quality check inspection, if the milk qualifies for all of our tests it is ready for distribution.
