Did you know we're meant to prepare infant formula at 70 degrees Celicius, then cool it down & feed to baby? It's because the powder isnt sterile.

Happy day of the milk! If anyone is interested in donating breastmilk please reach out to the teams at Wellington or Hutt Hospital. They almost always need more.

⭐Today, Tuesday 19 May, is World Human Milk Donation day ⭐

🌸This international day recognises the amazing women who donate their breast milk to our milk banks.

🤗Without their kindness and amazing gift of breast milk we would be unable to provide safe milk supplementation to premature or sick babies when māmās milk is not available.

🥰This helps reduce the emotional stress on māmā while she is providing as much milk as she can and navigating the NICU journey for her whānau.

To every woman who donates their breast milk – ‘thank you, you are very much appreciated’.

To our Health NZ lactation consultants – ‘thank you for the valuable work you do’.
