State Lawmakers Consider Regulating Breast Milk Donation

HARRISBURG, Pa. (KDKA) — State lawmakers are considering regulating breast milk donations and the organizations that sell it. They want to ban unsafe practices, which can crop up when breast milk is shared.
“Right now, 95 percent of our level three and level four NICUs are now using human milk because they know of its benefits. It’s important that we begin to regulate,” according to the bill’s sponsor, Republican Representative Donna Oberlander from Clarion County.
