Abstract :

The present study aims at analyzing scientific works published in periodicals indexed in electronic databases about the importance of a social support network to the donation of human milk through the partnership between Brazilian Human Milk Banks and the Military Firefighters Corps for receivers of human milk, counting from the network�s first registered existence in Brazil until the year of 2015, and considering its social effects in the country and perhaps abroad. Methodology: The study is a critical review of the electronic scientific literature, searched from December 2014 to February 2015. Results: 110.098 works were found, then selected and later recovered after thoroughly meeting all the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 25 scientific publications were recovered and read in full: 6 articles, 1 doctoral thesis, 8 master�s dissertation, 5 latu sensu post-graduation studies, 3 monographs and 2 undergraduate dissertations. Conclusion: From the scientific evidence and also from the practical experience of the Brazilian Network of Human Milk Banks, built and consolidated in the last two decades, Brazil currently represents a role model to be followed by other countries regarding human milk donation.
