The World Health Organization has opened a short comment period on the draft of a 2017 update to the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative.
In the section on supplementation when the infant's own milk is not available, the document recommends the use of donor human milk - but only for low-birth weight infants. If followed, this could change policies in place today in a number of facilities that make donor human milk available for healthy term and near term infants who have a medical need for supplementation.
The comment period
If you would like to tell the WHO that the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative should support donor milk, when available, for all babies with a medical need to be supplemented, please read the following letter and then use the form at the bottom to sign.
Note, your signature will be appended to this document for public viewing.
Please note, if you signed prior to the update date/time below and your signature does not appear here, email Jodine Chase as jchase at mediaworkswest dot com. Likely the signature form didn't completely capture your signature (there are a number with first names only.)
Update, Signatures added to 8:00 a.m. MDT
Next update noon . Oct 25, MDT

Re: Public consultation on the draft of the document: Protection, Promotion, and Support of Breastfeeding in Facilities Providing Maternity and Newborn Services: The Revised Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative 2017
Thank you for the opportunity to comment the revised Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI 2017).
Including donor human milk explicitly in the BFHI 2017 is an important revision that further aligns the BFHI with global breastfeeding policy framework and responds to the call at the World Breastfeeding Conference 2012 in Delhi to adopt a human rights approach to the protection, promotion, and support of infant and young child feeding at all levels.
Specifically, the WHO/UNICEF Global Strategy on Infant and Young Child Feeding (2003) states:
Specifically, the WHO/UNICEF Global Strategy on Infant and Young Child Feeding (2003) states:
“For those few health situations where infants cannot, or should not, be breastfed, the choice of the best alternative – expressed breast milk from an infant’s own mother, breast milk from a healthy wet-nurse or a human-milk bank, or a breast-milk substitute fed with a cup, which is a safer method than a feeding bottle and teat – depends on individual circumstances.”
and the Convention of the Rights of the Child, Article 24 refers to the rights of all children:
"to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health…”
In the draft BFHI 2017, the specific reference to donor human milk in Section 2.1.4 Supplementation needs to be broadened to be fully aligned with the Global Strategy, the CRC, and other instruments and policies that support the right of the child to adequate nutrition. By referencing donor milk as being appropriate for low-birth-weight infants only, the BFHI 2017 could erode other important guidance and policies where donor milk, when available, is recommended as an option for all infants in need. Numerous policies and guidances position donor human milk as the next best option for infants, ahead of infant formula (Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (2017), Canadian Pediatric Society (2010), Health Canada (2012), (PATH (2013).) For example, the Emergency Nutrition Network Infant Feeding in Emergencies Core Group’s new Operational Guidance on Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies Version 3.0 (2017) states:
“Where an infant is not breastfed by his/her mother, quickly explore, in priority order, the viability of relactation, wet nursing and donor human milk, informed by cultural context, current acceptability to mothers and service availability.
The undersigned request that the first sentence in Section 2.1.4, Paragraph 5 be amended to read:
“Infants, especially those with very low birth weight, who cannot be fed their own milk should be fed donor human milk (50, 51)....”
Thank you for this opportunity to provide comment the draft BFHI 2017.

Sincerely,
