Japan's neonatal care is one of the best globally, and many infants weighing less than 1,000 grams survive. When babies are saved, I want them to grow healthier. I think this is a wish that everyone has. Especially for infants born small, the way they are nourished after being stabilized makes a big difference in their prognosis. Nutrition that puts too much strain on their immature intestines may even put their lives at risk again. A life preserved through medical treatment should not be lost due to poor nutrition. Donor milk is an option to enrich the first nourishment of these newborns' lives.

Recent studies have shown that the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in tiny babies is about twice as high when they are milk formula-fed versus donor milk-fed. We believe that it is our responsibility to make the human milk bank system widely known and establish a structure where the families of babies can actually choose donor milk. We will do everything in our power to create a better future with better nutrition.
