ATTA Breastmilk CommunityABC News
•83% Informative
ATTA Breastmilk Community collects breast milk and donates it to mothers in need.
The group is the only group outside a hospital setting in Uganda that conserves breast milk in substantial amounts.
ATTA receives calls for support from hospitals and homes with babies born too soon or too sick to latch onto their mothers’ breasts.
More than 200 mothers have donated breast milk to support over 450 babies since July 2021 .
The service is necessary in a country where an unknown number of women suffer for lack of lactation support, a lactation specialist says.
ATTA 's work is challenging in a socially conservative society where such a pioneering service raises eyebrows.
Questions include fears that babies who drink donated breast milk might inherit the bad habits of their benefactors.
