Abstract
Introduction: In Nigeria particularly, the percentage of infants exclusively breastfed is quiet low. Similarly, there is no human breast milk bank in the whole of West African Sub-region.

More than half of the mothers (56%) were willing to donate breast milk. Majority (74.4%) of the mothers were unwilling to accept donor breast milk. Conclusion: This study revealed poor knowledge of donor breast milk as well as poor acceptance of donor breast milk
