Kamloops gearing up for human milk drive
KAMLOOPS — Breast milk can be life-saving for premature or sick babies, but often mothers struggle to establish their milk production and keep it going well enough to meet their baby’s needs.
The supply of donor milk to Interior hospitals comes from out of province, but supply is decreasing.
Kamloops is gearing up for a milk drive to collect as much human donor milk as possible, to send to the BC Women’s Milk Bank in Vancouver, and help Neonatal Intensive Care Units across the province.
