An art exhibition telling the stories of families who’ve benefited from donated breast milk and those involved in the Human Milk Foundation charity is being held at NNUH next week.
“Connecting Hearts” features paintings with accompanying narrated audio from the subjects to explain the importance of donor human milk for families who have experienced premature birth, having a sick baby and baby loss. The artwork includes portraits of parents, babies, donors and those involved in the charity including Blood Bike volunteers. QR codes are displayed alongside the paintings for people to scan and listen to the stories behind each image.
Leanne Pearce is a unique portrait artist who celebrates early years, breastfeeding and parenthood. Her approach focuses on showcasing human kindness and emotion.
The Human Milk Foundation provides donor human milk to sick, premature babies in hospital neonatal intensive care units and families at home through the Hearts Milk Bank. Donor milk is donated by mothers with milk which is surplus to their own baby’s needs. In 2019 the charity opened a dedicated donor milk hub at Hellesdon Hospital in partnership with Norfolk Blood Bikes, which provides more efficient transport of donor milk to hospitals and families in the region. Last year, in partnership with Norfolk County Council and Start 4 Life, the charity launched a new programme of support for families, to expand milk banking services across the county and give more families access to specialist lactation support and donor human milk. As part of the project, a further donor milk hub is planned to open this year in Kings Lynn.
Local donors and families who have benefited from the work of the charity and other healthcare teams will be invited to the exhibition at 5pm on Tuesday 15 April in the East Atrium. Talks will also be given in the Benjamin Gooch Lecture Theatre by Leanne Pearce, Norfolk Blood Bikes and the Human Milk Foundation. The artwork will be on display for patients, visitors and staff to view for the next three months.
Felicity Webster from the HMF said: “We are delighted that through this exhibition, the incredible stories behind human milk banking will be told, raising awareness of the life-changing impact that donating and receiving human milk can have on families. Donor human milk is an important source of nutrition for sick and premature babies if their mother’s own milk is not available, and helps to reduce the risk of serious complications. But it can also act as a bridge, giving mum the time and support to establish her own milk supply and go on to breastfeed.”
Emma Jarvis, Environmental Arts Manager said: “Leanne is an incredibly powerful artist who has really brought these stories to life through her captivating artwork. The event will be a celebration of the wonderful work of the charity and highlight the huge impact donor milk can have on babies, families and donors.”
The N&N Hospitals Charity purchases breast milk for NNUH babies from the HMF and funds the costs of Blood Bike deliveries. £16,500 was spent on donor breast milk for NICU babies in 2024 thanks to donations made to the charity’s NICU fund.

I've just changed my recent post after someone messaged me asking me to change the image. It is difficult to hear this, especially when the image was of my own child and already censored, but the concern is real and such a challenge in this line of work. I was asked by YouTube if I wanted to begin making an income on my channel after a sudden influx of 30k followers, to discover they were all mostly men watching breastmilk expression. It is SO sad and utterly ridiculous, disgusting, heartbreaking (insert many words including expletives!) that we are having to censor the information we put out to new parents in this way, nevermind the weird phone calls and messages we also receive! 😞

My first 2 clients of 2025 have brought me back to this reminder. Scales are not everything. Weighing babies is ONE measure that can be useful to us, but we must look at the whole picture. When you employ an IBCLC for feeding support, we are trained not just to rely on the numbers in front of us. How we respond to the whole picture and not just those numbers can make a huge difference to breastfeeding.

Happy New Year from 🤍🤍

If I could prescribe one thing to all my clients, it would be Skin to Skin. The benefits of skin to skin go far beyond the birthing space and the golden hour. Placing your baby in skin to skin and getting back to the basics can work wonders for getting breastfeeding back on track!
