Hi,
am posting this on behalf of a friend who's baby was born at 33 weeks (and is now doing very well and settled at home 2 weeks on!)
Friend had to express so that she could build up her supply, this was then frozen.
In friend's own words:
I have got a shed load (freezer full) of breast milk that the local milk bank are not allowed to take because I am RH Neg and have had anti D. Their rules have changed as after DD1 I regularly donated, seems silly but rules are rules but what do I do with the milk I pumped damn hard for that I would be devastated to throw it all down the sink any ideas??
when asked if any local hospitals will accept:
that's the nearest one that accepts it the hospital that we were in do not accept it directly, it needs to go through [name of hospital] then they buy it but it is £1000 a pint which is crazy!! It keeps for 6 months but I am fully breast feeding and we will not get through that much
Friend is South England, healthy, is RH Negative and had to have Anti D at the end of the pregnancy.
Does anybody have any ideas of who she could donate to?
Thanks
