The banks collect expressed milk from pre-screened mothers who have a plentiful supply and a baby under six-months old. It is then pasteurised before it is offered to nearby hospitals.
But today doctors in Germany warned new parents against privately obtaining their baby's food through social networks such as Facebook.
'Donors can be taking medicines or drugs, have infectious illnesses like AIDS or Hepatitis,' Wolfram Hartmann, president of the Professional Association of Pediatricians, said.
'Nobody can check whether the unknown mother's milk is harmless for the particular child' he warned, adding that the milk's quality could also be affected during its transportation.

一些来自英国和美国的女性在网上出售母乳引发争议,有专家提醒称这很可能对宝宝造成伤害。
这些妈妈们使用社交论坛,包括Facebook等社交媒体来出售母乳挣钱。
对母乳不足的新妈妈们,在网上购买母乳非常有吸引力,因为与配方奶相比,母乳能增强宝宝的抵抗力,也使宝宝更不易过敏。
onlythebreast.com等网站满足了这一需求,网站上写道:我们离散的母乳分类体系让大家能够出售和购买母乳,购买渠道卫生且非常私密。
