Guangzhou breast milk bank saving sick babies

Xu Liang, a TV host and the first mother to donate breast milk to the bank, said it could save the lives of babies who are critically ill.

Her donation five years ago helped cure a 10-month-old baby who urgently needed extra nutrition after intestinal surgery.

Xu said she is still promoting breast feeding and encouraging local mothers who have extra breast milk to donate it to the bank.

There are now 17 breast milk banks in China.
