Of the mothers, 41.6% were aware of milk banking, 71.3% were willing to receive milk bank services and 68.8% were willing to donate breastmilk. 62.2% of those who did not want to make donation stated risk of contagion as a reason. 8.2% of the participants had worked as wet-nurse before. Conclusions: Most mothers revealed positive approaches and opinions about establishment of milk banking and milk donation.
