Mom's 250km Milk Donation Inspires Surat
27 Sep
Summary
- Mother traveled over 250 km to donate breast milk.
- Donated milk supports infants from disadvantaged families.
- Donated milk is vital for premature and sick newborns.
A mother's profound instinct to nurture extended across 250 kilometers when Nikita Prajapati traveled from Ahmedabad to Surat to donate her breast milk.
Prajapati, mother to a seven-month-old, journeyed by train to a human milk donation camp. This event, held on September 17, collected approximately 5,380 ml of milk for infants in need.
The camp specifically aimed to support newborns from socially and financially disadvantaged families. Prajapati's own experiences fueled her desire to contribute, understanding the critical role of maternal milk.
Doctors emphasize the immense value of donated human milk, especially for premature, low-birth-weight, and sick newborns, bolstering their immunity and nutrition when maternal supply is insufficient.
Camp coordinator Dr. Ketan Bharadva lauded Prajapati's journey as inspirational, noting her willingness to go the extra mile for unknown children. He likened donated human milk to donated blood in its life-saving potential.
