This talk addresses the practical aspects of establishing a donor milk program in a NICU or nursery. It includes a brief history of milk banking, the medical evidence supporting use of donor milk, cost, and steps toward establishing a hospital’s donor milk program.
Having a child in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is difficult. It is important for every family member to be included. As children and their families read and color this book, they will learn how the NICU, other moms, and local milk banks support breastfeeding and work to make the newest family member grow healthy and strong.
