Why doesn’t Australia have more breast milk banks? – Essential Baby – March 2015
After serious complications, Chloe’s* baby was born prematurely. Chloe became very unwell and was confined to intensive care while her baby boy, Ollie*, was cared for in the neonatal ward.
Ollie’s condition was touch and go, and there was a real chance he wouldn’t make it. It was a terrifying and difficult time for Chloe’s partner and family. During his time in hospital, as Chloe recovered from the birth and complications, baby Ollie was tube fed donor breast milk.
