So much fun talking about #breastmilk in Berlin , spreading the word about the importance of good #lactationalsupport in achieving a #bridgetobreastfeeding and the possibility of creating a safe low-cost #HumanMilkBank in a low-resource setting #liquidgold #breastfeedingsupport
An amazing opportunity for our co-founder, Dr Kathy Burgoine, to share our experience of setting-up our Bridge to Breastfeeding programme - an enhanced lactational support programme and #HumanMilkBank - in Eastern Uganda with the international neonatal community.

Well done @DrMuduwa and Claire - this will be the first of many I know 👏🏼

Excellent work @Wabbit_Swayer - postnatal growth failure was almost ubiquitous among infants <1500g when feed mum’s own milk only. This is a call to do more to support the #nutrition of these #preterm infants #donorhumanmilk #MilkBanking
