Something that so many of us have unknowingly agreed to…sad to say

Do you have breast milk which is surplus to your baby's needs? It could be donated to help premature babies in hospital neonatal intensive care and can help save lives.❤️ Becoming a milk donor is a simple process which our team can talk you through. It involves a blood test and questionnaire, and you will need to be:

⭐️A non-smoker / non-vaper

⭐️Able to express at least 2 litres of milk within a 10 week period, or have a freezer stash of surplus milk which was expressed in the last 10 weeks and frozen within 24 hours of being expressed.

⭐️Based in Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Kent, North London, Sussex, Bedfordshire or South Wales

⭐️If you are taking certain medications this may not be compatible with donating milk. Please contact our team for more information.

Taking the time to become a milk donor is an amazing step. You could be changing the lives of a tiny baby and their family forever.

If you can help please email info@heartsmilkbank.org or call our team on 01442 505 020.

Please share this post with any local groups and contacts.

It’s wild when you think about it…
a mother’s body doesn’t just feed her baby..
it protects them.

If a breastfeeding mom is near someone sick,
someone sneezes, coughs, whatever..
her body starts creating antibodies within hours.
And those antibodies?
They show up right in her milk.
Exactly what her baby needs, right when they need it most.

That’s not just milk.
That’s connection.
That’s instinct.
That’s living medicine.

On tap.
On time.
On purpose.

Our bodies are incredible.
Motherhood really is science and soul mixed together.

If anyone needs training… it’s parents.

Everything your little one does is BIOLOGICALLY normal.
It is what your baby was designed to do.

Frequent feeding? NORMAL
Always wanting to be in your arms? NORMAL
Hates sleeping alone aka the crib? NORMAL
Loves being rock? Considering the womb was a cradle…
yep totally NORMAL.

Now let me ask you this…

How often do YOU eat?
Do you like cuddling ?
What about sleeping alone?
If it were possible… wouldn’t you love to be rocked to sleep?

Babies aren’t meant to be trained.

We live in a society that rushes babies to grow up. From bouncers, to weaning off breast milk second solids enter the picture… everything is backwards.

Infants signal their needs for more than just food. They also need comfort, closeness and warmth… all of which they had in the womb.

Touch is fundamental to human communication, bonding, and health. As adults… we require human touch to thrive… and so do babies!

In just a short few years… your baby will be walking and exploring the world and they won’t need you as much as they do now.

So next time your little one is in need of your ‘assistance’ aka love and responsiveness, realize that they aren’t doing it to manipulate you or make you feel hopeless… they are doing it because they NEED you.

Did you know about homeopathy?
The original London Homoeopathic Hospital was established on October 10, 1849, although it did not receive its first patient until March of the following year. Founded by Frederick Foster Hervey Quin, the hospital was first located in Golden Square, Soho. After several revivals it is now known as the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, located at 60 Great Ormond Street, London.
