When I was 32 weeks pregnant I had to have major surgery & premature delivery was a real risk. As milk bank is not an option in our area I enlisted 3 close friends who had newborn babies to be on standby in the event of delivery so my baby would have breast milk available instead of formula. Thankfully we did not deliver until she was due & I was able to nurse her myself but if the worst happened I would have been inconveniencing 3 families because our government can't get their act together!

My third child was a prem, born at 28weeks. It would a huge difference if NICU babies had milk banks to help them receive breast milk as we are all told breast is best. Although unfortunately not all mothers can provide breast milk for their baby's.

I have 6 grandchildren and if they had needed help with I would have liked it to have been available . Youngest grandson is a very precious IVF bub and I think milk should be free, from a milk bank, not just for these babies but for ALL babies born with medical problems

I'm supporting this endeavour to establish milk-banks in Australian Hospitals, initiated by a close friend who had to discard her expressed colustrum when her premature baby passed away. She lost two things that day: her precious daughter & her precious milk that could have helped another Orem baby had there been an established milk bank. This would have made her feel that her milk was used for good, to help another life. She now wants to see milk banks as a tribute to her daughter.

my Daughter was born at 25 weeks and spent 100 days in the NICU .... i had massive problems with expressing i was not produlicing enough milk ... my sick baby needed my milk so i had to resort to taking medication so i could produce milk for her ...
if we had a milk bank then it would help for people like me who dont produce suficiant amounts ...i beleive that breast milk is important for premature and sick babies ....

I had a baby at 23 weeks and was thankfully able to express milk for him. At this gestation, the benefits of breastmilk are enormous. Luckily if I hadnt been able to breastfeed my hospital has a Milk Bank. Every prem baby should be able to access a milk bank!

I have had three premature babies and although I was lucky enough to have enough milk there were so many other Mum's who didn't. I had enough to give to others and it broke my heart to throw away my milk when it could have been used to help others.

My milk came in quite late and it was a battle to stop the hospital from supplementing with formula. It would have greatly reduced my stress had there been a breast milk bank to draw on. Some women have so much milk they don't know what to do with it. Seeing them struggle with oversupply while I had nothing was so frustrating. Please provide a way for this most precious of resources not to be wasted! Thank you.

I am a mum to 4 premature bubs unfortunetly my youngest son is not here with us. Breastmilk is very important in the early days of a bubs life, but saddly is not always available. Milk banks are important as they can save and often improve the quality of life of many sick and premature babies before mums milk comes in.

Every child deserves the best start to life. Some mothers may not be as fortunate as others in the ability to produce enough milk. A milk bank would help to ensure these precious babies get every chance they deserve, and will allow the parents to spend their time concentrating on their precious child.

Whilst my baby was in NICU, she had to have some supplementary formula feeds when my supply couldn't keep up with her needs. I wish a milk bank had been available.
When the time came for us both to come home, because we lived more than two hours from the hospital, much of the store of breast milk I had managed to build up had to be thrown out... how sad that some other baby couldn't benefit.

I believe that the initiation of Milk Banks in NICU's would serve many purposes. Mothers who are unable to provide breastmilk for their newborns would receive a gift; mothers who have lost their babes will feel they are helping someone & their milk is not just discarded.

Babies deserve the best treatment possible to help them fight when in NICU and as some mothers arnt able to breastfeed why should their babies miss out on the best possible care and i truly belief this could make a difference to lots of premature and sick bubs.

Because there needs to be support out there for familes and parents, and for our precious babies, who have no voice. Milk banks need to be available like blood banks.
