YOu don't tell them it is donor milk, simple. Unfortunately though, they are probably bound by policy that they can't use milk that is unscreened etc so they can't let you use it on the million to one chance that something happens to your babe because of it. I hope it's all going OK for you though
Yes, that's what we've found. I really wish they would change that policy, now that I know how essential EBM is to a premmie and the immediate effect it had on DD2's BSL's. They tried her on formula and it did nothing, and she was very slow to respond to glucose via cannula, but the smallest amount of EBM and she surged back to normal BSL's. EBM is gold and they need to let more newborns / prems have it! I am eternally grateful to my very special friend who came to visit me in hospital .
