About
The CDC page discusses guidelines for donating breast milk during emergencies. It emphasizes the importance of safe milk handling to prevent contamination and the spread of diseases. Donors must be healthy, non-smoking individuals without infectious illnesses. Milk should be stored properly, labeled with the date, and frozen if not used within 24 hours. Donations to milk banks undergo strict screening and pasteurization processes. In emergencies, informal milk sharing should be avoided due to potential risks. The page promotes awareness of proper infant feeding practices during crises, prioritizing safety and health precautions for donated breast milk.
