The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has reaffirmed that mother’s own milk is the optimal nutrition for very low birth weight infants in the NICU.

When mother’s own milk is not available, insufficient, or contraindicated, the AAP recommends PASTEURIZED Donor Human Milk to help reduce the risk of serious complications, including necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). 🛡️

Donor human milk plays an important role in protecting vulnerable infants and supporting improved outcomes when maternal milk is not available.

Every single feed of breast milk is valuable.

The first milk you make is called colostrum. From the first feed, colostrum lines your baby's tummy for protection against illness and infection, gives them an energy boost and helps them pass meconium – a black, sticky, tar-like substance you should see in your baby's first nappy.​

Your new baby has a tiny tummy and colostrum's small volumes help your baby to feed frequently. This helps your body to build your milk supply and produce the right amount of milk for your baby.

If you and your baby are separated for any reason after birth, you can help to get your breastfeeding Off to a Good Start by starting to hand express early - ideally within 1 hour of birth but if that isn't possible, as soon as you are well enough to do so.

The colostrum you collect can be offered to your baby in a number of different ways. Staff will discuss the options with you and help you to protect your milk supply.

Our theaters have Liquid Gold, breastmilk expression kits to help you get expressing early and frequently.

Got any questions about colostrum?

Remember you don't need to wait until your baby has arrived, you can discuss breastfeeding and expressing with your Midwife , Family Nurse and our Breastfeeding Peer Supporters.
