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

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

Breast milk (ASI) is the best and most perfect source of nutrition for babies, especially premature babies. ASI contains complete nutrients for optimal growth and development in terms of mental and physical aspects of the baby, especially in the first six months of life. The features and advantages of mother's milk not only recognized in Islam have even been recognized by researchers from medical, science and lactation experts. The writing of this article aims to discuss the need for sharia compliant milk banks for premature babies. This study uses a qualitative approach using content analysis methods that focus on the textbooks, books, journals, articles and reports. The results of the discussion found that mother's milk contained many of the benefits needed by premature babies. When compared with formula milk, the nutritional content of breast milk is much better. There are several reasons why breastfeeding is now the main requirement in Malaysia, one of them is for premature babies. With this, the government seeks to meet ASI's needs by establishing a shariah compliant milk bank for mothers with breastfeeding problems. The results of the discussion found that Islam not only acknowledged the efficacy of ASI, it also emphasized the problem of maternal and adolescent mahram relationships. Therefore, the established milk bank must be in accordance with the guidelines set by the jurisprudence and the schools of Imam Shafi'i. In addition to needs, milk banks also provide benefits for Muslims by seeing an increase in premature baby birth statistics in Malaysia. It is in this condition of the emergency phase that a compliant sharia milk bank needs to be established. The milk bank that will be established can avoid the occurrence of problems overlapping the mahram according to the principle of Maqasid al-Shari'ah in the maintenance of implantable mahram purity.
