Benefits of donated breast milk

The World Health Organisation recommends donated breast milk as a better alternative to infant formula, so your doctor may have prescribed it for your baby.

But why?

Breast milk is safe and loaded with antibodies.

It's easier to digest, protects the gut and improves feed tolerance.

Premature babies can usually tolerate breast milk through a feeding tube quite well.

What this means

That means it may reduce some of the risks of the health challenges your little one is facing, including a lower chance of infection thanks to drips being taken out sooner.

All of this adds up to an improved chance of you taking bub home sooner.
