Description
Summary:Evaluation of procedures during household milking and transport of human milk associated with their quality control. 48 donors registered in the Human Milk Bank of the Clinics Hospital of the Federal University at Uberlândia. Observations were made during home visits. A checklist was elaborated according to the technical standards for human milk banks, been associated with physical-chemical, and microbiological controls. The chi-square test, logistic regression and Spearman test (p< 0.05) were used for data analysis. The results suggest that most donors assimilated the guidelines of the milk bank staff and procedures were satisfactorily performed. It could be demonstrated that milking and home collection are safe and effective ways for obtaining donated human milk.
