Knowing that her breast milk was the best nutrition for Charli, Moultrie tried pumping to get her milk supply started.

Key Points: 
  • Knowing that her breast milk was the best nutrition for Charli, Moultrie tried pumping to get her milk supply started.
  • After two weeks of consistently pumping with scant results, Moultrie was grateful to learn that Charli could receive safe, pasteurized human milk through the hospital's donor milk bank.
  • The milk bank also has a legacy program for women who have lost a baby but want to donate their milk to help other infants.
  • “But there are times around the holidays and during the summer when we only have enough milk for hospitalized babies.”
    This means the milk bank is not always able to provide milk to babies who have been discharged from the hospital with a doctor’s prescription for pasteurized donor human milk.
