The research question was set up: What are the specifics of work of the staff in human milk banks? The outcomes of the research showed that the staff in human milk banks are mostly working with the donors of breast milk, which is further being examined, pasteurized and frozen. The quantitative part was made through questionnaire in social media with the total number of 1000 respondents. The outcomes of the research were graphically represented and added by verbal comments. Hypothesis verification was done thanks to chi square test. The zero hypothesis was tested against the alternative hypothesis with the level of significance of 5 %. Afterwards the level of significance was compared with the final value from chi square test. The hypothesis H1 ended up with the result of < 0,1 %.
