    • Abstract:
      Human milk is considered to be the best nutritional option for newborns. When a mother gives birth prematurely, she may have difficulty providing breast milk for her child. Pasteurized donor human milk (DM) is a better feeding alternative than preterm formula. Human milk banks in North America pool the milk from up to 5 women before distribution, a concept which does not pose a problem for most living in the Western world. Muslim families living in North America may reject the use of DM due to the idea of milk kinship and the anonymity of the donor. This paper aims to provide knowledge to Canadian clinicians on these Islamic religious beliefs relevant to DM and how they may impact their practice. Additionally, this paper provides Canadian clinicians with information to alleviate concerns Muslim families may have regarding the use of DM for their preterm infant.
