The World Health Organisation reported that many premature babies were saved from morbidity and mortality when they were fed breastmilk starting within the first hour after their birth. The rate of premature birth in Malaysia has increased exponentially since 2018—more than 20 percent of premature births. Therefore, hospitals should have enough supplies of breastmilk to save the lives of these precious premature babies. However, only one hospital in Malaysia provides supplies of breastmilk on demand.

The steps involved obtaining signed consent from the wet nurse and her husband; screening of the wet nurse’s health and personality characteristics; screening of the breastmilk by the milk collection centre; obtaining a signed consent from the premature baby’s parents; feeding breastmilk to the premature baby with the consent of witnesses; a meeting between the wet nurse and her family and the baby’s parents and family; and completing the wet nursing document to be given to the newly formed milk kinship family.
