There had been a backlash by Muslim clerics in the country, who said the scheme violated Islamic law.

A Bangladesh hospital has suspended plans to give donated breast milk to babies after a backlash by Muslim clerics who said the scheme violated Islamic law.

Bangladesh's top Islamic leadership has not yet made a ruling on the milk bank, but it was halted after critics said the plan could lead to breaches of Sharia law if two babies drank milk from the same mother and later married. Top child specialists had backed the milk bank, saying it was needed to help save child lives as well as aid their growth.
