Kina said:That sounds great Valentine, I hope it works out for you! My stepsister recently had a prem baby at 25 weeks, who sadly died the next day. I know that they told her that her milk could be frozen for when the baby was well enough to be tube fed it, but obviously there are some mums who can't express if they're on certain medication for instance. For prems breastmilk is the best thing for them as I understand formula increases their risk of getting Necrotising Enterocolitis, which can kill them. Therefore by donating breastmilk you will be saving their lives, it's a fantastic contribution to make. Well done you
Hey Kina - I hope it all works out. I think I might live too far away from my nearest one and they won't pick up outwith a certain area - but I'm waiting for the co-ordinator to call me back to discuss. I'll let you know how it goes - I'd certainly love to do it.
