HCR 56 designates the month of May as Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) and Breastfeeding Awareness Month in Texas. NEC is a serious disease affecting premature infants, often leading to high mortality rates and long-term health complications. The resolution emphasizes the importance of breastfeeding and donor human milk as key preventative measures against NEC. It acknowledges the efforts of organizations like the Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas and the Mothers' Milk Bank at Austin in providing donor milk to vulnerable infants. This designation will also remain in effect for ten years from the date of passage.
