After its own mother's milk, when not available, breast milk from other mothers is the best and healthiest food for premature and newborn babies. We offer competent breastfeeding advice in the entire field of neonatology. Sometimes, however, your own mother's milk is not (yet) available in the way your child needs it.

Our women's milk bank enables a seamless supply of breast milk even for children for whom their own mother's milk is not (yet) available. As a result, it plays a major role in our successes in nutritional development and low complication rates in the care of ever smaller premature babies. The transmission of infections via milk is prevented by modern and comprehensive examination and processing methods.

Donations of milk are always welcome. If you would like to donate your milk, please contact OA Dr. Böttger (ralf.boettger@med.ovgu.de) or to the team of the Women's Milk Bank (milchkueche@med.ovgu.de oder Tel. 0391- 67 17499).

You are also welcome to read detailed (technical) information on the subject at theVerein Frauenmilchbankinitiative, of which we are a member and feel free to ask us your questions by phone or email.
