Did you know that our volunteers collect donor breast milk (DBM) from donor mums at home?

Once collected the DBM is taken to the milk hub in Tiverton and then once a month it is collected by Blood Bikes NICU Support and taken to the Milk Bank in Bristol for processing, before being sent out to regional NICU units across the South West.

Donor breast milk is critically important to poorly and premature babies, as it can double their survival chances if born before 32 weeks.

Yesterday East volunteer Rob, collected the last donation from donor mum Beryl in Dorset. In total Beryl has donated 110 litres of DBM. What a fantastic achievement ❤️

Our South Gloucester Volunteer rider/driver, Kerry breaks rank to do a 150 mile round trip to collect from Director Liz Gunn at her HBUK record breaking Devon DBM hub in Tiverton. www.healthy-babies-uk.org.

It won’t be surprise if the Guinness book of records try to get in contact, as over the last two weeks there was another 100 litres of DBM in the HBUK Devon Hub freezers. www.healthy-babies-uk.org.
