Assembly Resolution No. 628

BY: M. of A. Solages

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 May 19, 2025, as Human Milk Day in the State of New
 York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body, in keeping with
its time-honored traditions, to recognize and pay tribute to the unique
contributions which donor-breastfeeding mothers make to other mothers
and their babies in New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 19, 2025, as Human
Milk Day in the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Human breast milk contains antibodies that help fight off
viruses and bacteria; newborn babies who are fed breast milk within the
first six months have fewer infections and respiratory illnesses; in
addition, breast milk reduces the risk of a baby developing asthma or
allergies; and

 WHEREAS, May 19th was originally designated in Brazil as World Human
Milk Donation Day because on this date, the first agreement to create a
network of milk banks in Latin America was signed by 13 countries and
international organizations in South and Central America; and

 WHEREAS, According to the World Health Organization, over 1,000,000
babies die every year from complications associated with prematurity,
and it is the leading cause of death for infants under four weeks of
age; and

 WHEREAS, The World Health Organization and the American Academy of
Pediatrics, among many other health care organizations and associations,
agree that when a mother's own milk is not available for fragile babies,
the next best alternative is banked donor human milk; and

 WHEREAS, For every 28 children who receive exclusive milk diets, one
case of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), requiring surgery is prevented
at a cost of approximately $398,000; and

 WHEREAS, It is the practice of this Legislative Body to recognize
those important days which remind us of the mothers who selflessly
donate their human breast milk for babies and preemies in this great
State and Nation; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 19, 2025, as Human
Milk Day in the State of New York, in honor of the donation that
breastfeeding mothers make to other mothers and their babies in the
State of New York who have enriched our Nation; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
