🩷Hello everyone!
🩷I have been receiving messages asking for donated breastmilk for CS mothers. I understand the worry of not having milk during the first day.
🩷However, our goal for breastfeeding is sustainable supply. Starting with donated BM for feeding can disrupt the breastmilk supply chain resulting to delay in the let-down of the mother's milk.
🩷In addition to that, unscreened donors+unpasteurized breastmilk poses risk for transmission of infection to newborns (particularly HIV).
🩷 So parents, let’s make a switch to seeking lactation coaching first on the 1st day of birth before asking for bm donation.
🩷This is SAFER for both your breastmilk supply and your baby. Plus, you dont need to worry on running out of donated bmilk.
