( and their long-term development a rec...)Donated Mothers Milk To Hit The Market,Health

and their long-term development, a recent study has raised questions about whether pasteurisation purges milk of most of its beneficial substances.

In a study of 234 premature babies, New York doctor Richard Schanler found that infants on donor milk in the first few weeks of life fared no better than babies on formula. His four-year study results were published this month in the journal Paediatrics.

The first customer for the milk is the University of Rochester's Strong Medical Centre in New York.

The report said that non-profit milk banks were worried that the new company would siphon off donors. Others worried that the for-profit framework would eventually entice mothers to sell milk instead of nursing their own babies.

"I'm very concerned about mothers not giving their babies the benefit of their own milk," said Nancy Wight, an expert on the care of premature babies at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women in San Diego, California.
