The bank opened in late March for a trial period and is expected to officially open in early June.

Mothers must undergo a blood test and other health screenings before qualifying to become donors.

The Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center spent thousands of dollars to facilitate the bank.

The milk bank's co-founder said she hoped it would help promote breast feeding.

China has seen a number of food safety scandals in recent years.

In 2008, chemical-laced baby milk formula killed six children and made 300,000 sick across China.
