A Liberation Health Approach to Examining Challenges and Facilitators of Peer-to-Peer Human Milk Sharing

Abstract

Despite risks and barriers, participants continued to pursue peer-to-peer human milk sharing. Informed by a liberation health framework, healthcare professionals-rather than universally discouraging human milk sharing between peers-should facilitate open dialogue with parents about the pros and cons of this practice and about screening recommendations to promote safety and mitigate risk.
