I've had an enquiry from a Lactation Consultant in France wanting to know about how we in Australia manage mother's milk for our preterm babies.
Could you please share with me what your NICU and SCBU does?
ie... is all colostrum and breastmilk automatically saved and given to the baby as soon as baby is tolerating enteral feeds? How is this milk stored? Does the mother have to be checked for HIV, Hep B, C, CMV, HTLV1, HTLV2? Is mothers own breastmilk treated in any way - ie must be frozen, must be pasteurised, etc.
All I want is a general idea - you don't need to identify your units, unless of course you are particularly proud of your excellent breastfeeding-friendly practices :-)
Thank you Denise
