Organizing an individual bank of breast milk helps to preserve an alternative possibility to continue breast-feeding of a newborn baby with pumped and (or) frozen mother’s milk. Pumped milk (milk defrosted not later than 3–6 months) is microbiologically safe food for a baby. Frozen pumped milk is much better than mixtures for babies. Sanitary Regulations and Standards 2.1.3.2630.-10 clause 3.5 are to be updated to reflect the technology of breast-feeding preservation forsick babies who do not have breast-feeding since the first days of life.

The article by Greer et al1 provokes some comment. The implication is that there may not be enough vitamins in mother's milk. However, as a private practitioner of general pediatrics and an ardent supporter of breast-feeding for more than 16 years, it has been my routine practice to recommend breast-feeding alone for at least four to six months (or longer—14 months of age is the record so far) with no supplementary vitamins to the infant save a prescription for fluoride drops plus a multivitamin and mineral tablet daily for the mother.

A multistage stratified sample of 782 mothers of infants under two years of age was taken to investigate infant feeding patterns and weaning practices. The rate of breast-feeding was 26.1% and that of bottle-feeding 41.9%. Breast-feeding was more common among late order children and those born to illiterate mothers. The mean duration of breast-feeding was 4.9 months and was longer among illiterate mothers. Infants were weaned because of insufficient mother’s milk, mother’s desire and infant refusal of the breast. The results indicate that there has been a sharp decline in breast-feeding. The reasons for this are discussed and measures to reverse the trend are recommended

Long-term exclusive breastfeeding is definitively the best feeding for every infant. Exclusive breast feeding should be for six months. From the age of six months onwards, solid food should be introduced while breast feeding is continued.1There are only very few contra-indications for breast feeding or mother’s milk. A maternal severe disease is an example of a contra-indication for breast feeding. If a mother has to take medication or undergo a treatment that may have a deleterious effect on the health of the baby, such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, breast feeding cannot be recommended.2In such a situation, mother’s milk from a different mother or a “milk bank” may offer a solution. If this are not possible, infant formula is indicated. Some seldom metabolic diseases such as galactosemia are also contra-indications for mother’s milk, because in such a situation lactose is causing severe damage to the baby. Cow’s milk based lactose containing infant formula is then as well contra-indicated, since the baby cannot metabolize lactose. However, it speaks for itself that these situation are exceptional.3,4
