In this episode, Katie takes Rachel behind the scenes for an in-depth exploration of donor milk—an intriguing topic that might just challenge everything you thought you knew about this practice.
I have to caveat that some of the information in this episode is possibly going to get your knickers in a twist though – do we have any episode that don’t?!
We’ll be discussing:
The history of milk banking
Are we seeing different health outcomes when using donor milk compared to a mother’s own milk?
Are there differences between donor and mothers milk that we should know about
What about informal, unpasteurised, milk sharing? Is this also happening in the hospital settings as well?
And have you ever heard the term “milk sibling” before?
I'll also dive into whether we need to rethink our approach to milk when caring for vulnerable infants. Plus, Rachel asks me about the future of milk banking—where is this practice headed?
