Milk Sharing in Austria:
Actual benefits have priority over possible benefits.Informal Milksharing or wetnursing happend throughout the history of humans. Only the last 100 years it became a matter of getting institutionalised. Milk banking was devoloped in Austria as part of a public health campaign. This presentation gives you a glimpse on the history of Milk banking in Austria, tells you the many ways how milk is shared currently in the heart of central Europe and gives you two short examples how mothers managed so their baby would receive human milk, when they were not able to. One adopted her child from a lay-mother, the other mother had to be in intensive care shortly after delivery.
