 The Human Milk Banking Association of North America, Inc. Clinical uses of banked donor milk may be arbitrarily divided into nutritional, medicinal or therapeutic, and preventive uses. In practice, however, donor milk may serve several purposes for the same recipient. For example, a preterm infant receives not only nourishment from donor milk but also medicinal therapy in the form of immune substances and growth factors present in donor milk. Necrotizing enterocolitis and feeding intolerances are also being prevented through the use of donor milk. Donor milk can be used in any case where it is necessary to buy time while a diagnosis is made. Donor milk will "first do no harm" and is frequently part or all of the solution to a problem. A prescription is required for the use of donor milk. A processing fee is charged to the recipient. Nutritional Uses:
