How is breast milk transported?
Head Start Performance Standards require that for programs serving infants and toddlers, facilities must be available for proper storage and handling of breast milk and formula. Staff should work with parents and the Health Services Advisory Committee to develop acceptable and safe methods for transporting, storing and handling breast milk and infant formula. Policies and procedures should be developed in consultation with the transportation supervisor and with input from parents who would be involved. Bus staff including substitutes must receive training in proper transport of breast milk.
