    Abstract The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has ramifications for the delivery of newborn nutrition and care services. World Health Organization recommends continuation of breastfeeding in these difficult times, with due precautions. If direct breastfeeding is not possible, milk expression should be explored. Pasteurized donor human milk from milk banks may be fed if mother's own milk is not available. To universalize access to human milk, the Indian government has proposed the establishment of comprehensive lactation management centers/milk banks, lactation management units, and lactation support units at all levels of the public health system. Due to COVID-19, these centers are encountering additional challenges cutting across interventions of rooming in, breastfeeding, milk expression, and provision of donor milk and kangaroo mother care. We discuss issues faced and alleviation measures taken by these centres in relation to provision of an exclusive human milk diet for infants during the pandemic.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the existing status of human milk banks in India with reference to infrastructure, human resources, funding mechanisms, operating procedures and quality assurance.
    Methods: A pretested questionnaire was administered to 16 out of 22 human milk banks across India, operational for more than one year prior to commencing the study.
    Results: 11 (69%) milk banks were in government or charitable hospitals; only 2 (12.5%) were established with government funding. 8 (50%) had a dedicated technician and only 1(6%) had more than five lactation counsellors. Milk was collected predominantly from mothers of sick babies and in postnatal care wards followed by pediatric outpatient departments, camps, satellite centers, and homes. 10 (63%) reported gaps between donor milk demand and supply. 12 (75%) used shaker water bath pasteurizer and cooled the milk manually without monitoring temperature, and 4 (25%) pooled milk under the laminar airflow. 10 (63%) tracked donor to recipient and almost all did not collect data on early initiation, exclusive breastfeeding or human milk feeding.
    Conclusions: Our study reports the gaps of milk banking practices in India, which need to be addressed for strengthening them. Gaps include suboptimal financial support from the government, shortage of key human resources, processes and data gaps, and demand supply gap of donor human milk.

    Abstract Background: Known interventions like breastfeeding and kangaroo mother care (KMC) can avert a large share of infant deaths. Mother Baby Friendly Initiative Plus (MBFI+) is an integrated approach to ensure exclusive human milk diet through promotion of breastfeeding, KMC, and provision of donor human milk (DHM) to vulnerable neonates lacking mothers' own milk.
    Materials and methods: Qualitative research was conducted among 56 service recipients including mothers and key influencers and 9 service providers to understand their knowledge, perceptions, and practices on breastfeeding, KMC, DHM, and human milk banks (HMBs) in 2 facilities in India, one with and another without an operational HMB. This article presents the findings on breastfeeding and KMC.
    Results: Nearly all mothers mentioned that antenatal visits lacked information on breastfeeding. Most were unaware of the recommended duration of exclusive breastfeeding. Most parents knew about the benefits of breast milk and colostrum. Limited staff and privacy in facilities resulted in inadequate breastfeeding and milk expression support to mothers, who found feeding of preterm and low-birth-weight babies challenging. Mothers shared challenges in breastfeeding at home, such as low family support and privacy and burden of household chores. Only those mothers who practiced KMC were aware of its benefits. Few service providers and recipients were comfortable with the practice of wet nursing in the absence of breastfeeding.
    Conclusions: MBFI+ is a promising approach to strengthen breastfeeding and KMC. Quality counseling on breastfeeding and milk expression from antenatal period, increasing awareness and training on KMC for mothers, improving infrastructure, addressing staff shortage, and building capacities of hospital staff on MBFI+ are needed.

    Abstract Breastfeeding, use of pasteurised donor human milk when mother's own milk is unavailable and kangaroo mother care have independently proven benefits in improving survival of vulnerable sick babies. A triangulated approach called the Mother Baby Friendly Initiative Plus (MBFI+) model, bringing together the combined benefits of these proven interventions, was used to improve exclusive human milk feeding at health facilities through quality improvement and system strengthening approach. This quality improvement before-and-after uncontrolled study enrolled 5343 term and 278 very low birth weight (VLBW) mother-infant dyads. Pre- and post-intervention data were compared to evaluate effect on feeding-related healthcare processes and outcomes. Primary outcome which was incidence of exclusive human milk feeding during hospital stay, improved from 44 to 64.8% (RR 1.47, 95% CI: 1.40-1.55) among term and from 60.5 to 80.7% (RR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.12-1.59) among VLBW neonates. Neonates receiving extended KMC improved from 43 to 71.1% (RR: 1.65; 95% CI: 1.30-2.10).Conclusion: MBFI+ approach improved exclusive human milk feeding among term and preterm VLBW neonates. What is Known: • Breastfeeding has immense health benefits to sick preterm neonates admitted in NICU. What is New: • Quality improvement approach can lead to system strengthening and can help overcome hindrances to achieve increased breastfeeding rates.

    Abstract Background: Scaling-up human milk banks (HMBs) is a promising solution for saving vulnerable newborns. Exploring perceptions and practices on donor human milk (DHM) and HMBs is essential to strengthen and scale-up an integrated HMB system resting on a model called the "Mother Baby Friendly Initiative Plus" (MBFI+), which includes promoting breastfeeding, encouraging kangaroo mother care, and providing safe DHM to vulnerable babies without access to mother's own milk.
    Materials and methods: A qualitative research was conducted among 56 service recipients including mothers and key influencers and 9 service providers to understand their perceptions and practices on DHM and HMBs.
    Results: Service providers opined that DHM is safe and lifesaving for vulnerable babies. Challenges shared were limited supply of DHM because of low awareness on milk donation, shortage of trained staff, and risk of milk contamination. They stated that although most mothers were comfortable in donating milk, few were reluctant to donate milk as they feared shortage of milk for their own babies, or milk expression may cause weakness. Recipient mothers accepted use of DHM as per facility norms but had concerns about donor mothers' health and hygiene and measures for ensuring milk safety. Most grandmothers were resistant toward donating or receiving DHM for their grandchildren. Many fathers were comfortable with donating once they knew it is lifesaving and did not compromise supply for their babies. Service providers shared opportunities for scale-up, like improving awareness and infrastructure, lactation counseling by skilled personnel, supportive hospital environment, and establishing HMBs in every city and district.
    Conclusions: Human milk banking should be strengthened as part of the MBFI+ model. For this, behavior change communication targeted at mothers and influencers about breastfeeding and HMB from the antenatal period, capacity-building among service providers, and government ownership is necessary.

    Abstract If maternal milk is unavailable, the World Health Organization recommends that the first alternative should be pasteurised donor human milk (DHM). Human milk banks (HMBs) screen and recruit milk donors, and DHM principally feeds very low birth weight babies, reducing the risk of complications and supporting maternal breastfeeding where used alongside optimal lactation support. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a range of challenges to HMBs worldwide. This study aimed to understand the impacts of the pandemic on HMB services and develop initial guidance regarding risk limitation. A Virtual Collaborative Network (VCN) comprising over 80 HMB leaders from 36 countries was formed in March 2020 and included academics and nongovernmental organisations. Individual milk banks, national networks and regional associations submitted data regarding the number of HMBs, volume of DHM produced and number of recipients in each global region. Estimates were calculated in the context of missing or incomplete data. Through open-ended questioning, the experiences of milk banks from each country in the first 2 months of the pandemic were collected and major themes identified. According to data collected from 446 individual HMBs, more than 800,000 infants receive DHM worldwide each year. Seven pandemic-related specific vulnerabilities to service provision were identified, including sufficient donors, prescreening disruption, DHM availability, logistics, communication, safe handling and contingency planning, which were highly context-dependent. The VCN now plans a formal consensus approach to the optimal response of HMBs to new pathogens using crowdsourced data, enabling the benchmarking of future strategies to support DHM access and neonatal health in future emergencies.
