Special syringes for storing colostrum

[Pholi]

Pholi, have you considered donating your colostrum if you have excess?

Hmm... I hadn't thought about it, but I guess I would, rather than give it to mine once I'm satisfied that my milk has come in sufficiently. Not sure how I'd go about it though... perhaps just talking to the LC before we leave the hospital? Would the babies who would benefit the most be in the big tertiary maternity hospital (KEMH in Perth), rather than the small private one (Mercy) we're using?

Someone else gave me a link to a fb group which 'shares' EBM, but it looked like a very quiet group, and I have very little faith in fb as a mechanism for achieving important things. I'd prefer a personal contact within the hospital involved.

I have used HM4HB if that is the site you are referring to. Milk banks are expensive to run so a small hospital probably doesn't have one or one near it . But you could try the site and see what happens. It is great of you to even consider it. I'm feeling hormonal at the moment and it made me cry a little o.O.
