Breastmilk bank running low on precious stock
abc.net.au
Australia's largest milk bank, which supplies a dozen hospitals in three states, is frighteningly close to running out of milk.It's science. Premature and sick babies digestive system is not able to digest formula. Some premmie babies a bit further in development are able to but many would die without breast milk. The first baby I saved weighed 357grams, was an IUGR baby and with breast milk the baby lives today. Without breast milk the mother was told it would not tolerate even the best quality formula.
Great stuff breastmilk!
So happy to help!!!!
My now 8 month old daughter was a recipient of donor milk while in the RBWH after she was born 2.5 months early. It truly was an incredible gift these selfless donors gave our 1000g baby.
Hi! Could someone pm me please. I would love to donate. Thank you xo
