Ahmedabad Mothers Donated 90 Litres Of Breast Milk To Help Save Premature Babies Fighting For Life

India Times – Priyanshi Mathur

A young mother, Rushina Doctor Marfatia, from Ahmedabad, realised that she was producing more milk than her boy could feed on. It was then that she decided to donate her breast milk to five premature babies who were battling for their lives in the ICU. The biological mothers of the babies were either too sick or could not provide their milk to them. "Rushinas deed is priceless. Her milk served as a panacea for these fragile babies weighing anywhere between 600 gm and 1.5 kg who are more prone to infections," said senior neonatologist Dr Ashish Mehta of Arpan Newborn Care Center. The center started Arpans MOM (mothers own milk) bank earlier this year. 29-year-old Rushina became a mother to baby Viaan, recently. "When I wondered if I could donate the milk for some sick or needy baby, my father rummaged through hospitals and found this bank. Apart from exclusively breastfeeding my son, I started donating my milk and do not plan to stop anytime soon," says Rushina, who is also a former event manager and now teaches event management at a private college. She also believes the children are healthiest when breastfed for a long time. It is not just Rushina, there are 250 mothers who are a part of the Arpan MOM bank. It has got nearly 90 litres of mother’s milk in donations which roughly translates to 600 milk feeds of 150 ml each.
