Heating it up and letting the world know!
Here at SABR we are great supporters of the heat treatment (home pasteurisation) of breastmilk as a alternative to replacement feeding (formula feeding), in settings affected by HIV/AIDS, poverty and lack of access to primary resources such as electricity and good quality running water.
We are privileged to work with some outstanding academics, who have devoted their studies to advancing techniques for the pasteurisation of breastmilk. Flash Heating is a method effective in the destruction of viruses, such as HIV, and superior in safeguarding nutrients.

Greetings! My name is Tanya, and I’m an American lactation consultant and run the Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog. I just found your site and am so excited to learn about your organization!
Even more fun was to see this poster. I was living in California when this study was being conducted, and actually donated milk for the heat treatement tests. I remember how happy I was to be able to participate in this tiny, tiny way in the fight against HIV and preservation of breastfeeding in Africa.
What a pleasure to read about your work. I’ll be back!
