We don’t talk about milk sharing enough!
*** Whenever there is a conversation about supplementing or complication feeding, donor milk and milk sharing should always be considered ***
Not only is this about the parents’ ability to make the best decisions for their family but it’s also our ethical responsibility as allied health care providers to give up to date, accurate and inclusive options.
Donor milk and milk sharing are safe, the communities are highly educated, supportive and loving! IBCLCs are great liaisons between families in need and those families who have milk to share. We are also knowledgeable regarding calorie needs, medications that may be used when nursing, and are typically connected to amazing local Midwives and Doulas. If you have questions, ask your friendly local IBCLC… Me.
Love Jen
