Re: [ozmidwifery] WA opens a brestmilk bank for premmie babies
Just found the article from two years ago. Where is Margaret Callaghan now? I wonder if there were too many hurdles to jump to get it off the ground Helen Australia's first milk bankAugust 12, 2004 - 1:06PM - AAPAustralia's first milk bank is to start offering breast milk to newmothers in Victoria from the beginning of next year.Melbourne-based lactation consultant Margaret Callaghan plans to open the private service which will pasteurise milk donations and offer them to mothers who cannot produce enough for their own babies.The proposal has raised questions about how the new service would be regulated.Ms Callaghan said the private company setting up the Victorian milk bank planned to set up in NSW next and then to establish clinics nationwide.She said new mothers who wanted to donate would be screened for disease and would then express the milk at home."It wouldn't be like a cow shed," she said.The milk would be pasteurised and given to premature babies whose mothers for some reason could not provide enough milk.Premature babies would be targeted initially as they were the most likely to suffer necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), or bowel blockages, after being fed formula, she said.Mothers milk also aided neurological development and reduced the risks of infections, Ms Callaghan said.Hospitals used to provide excess milk from new mothers to babies who needed it until the rise of the spectre of AIDS in the 80s.Ms Callaghan said that as the average age of mothers increased, so had the demand for breast milk."I have people ringing me saying 'Where can I get some human milk from'," she said.The president of paediatrics and child health of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, Professor Don Roberton today said any move to make breast milk more available was positive as long as the milk was properly screened for disease.Professor Roberton said human milk had advantages over formula, especially for premature babies."But we also have to be very aware of any potential risks that might occur with human milk," he said.Breast milk would need to be carefully screened in the same way donated blood was, he said.Breast milk banks operate in the UK, the USA and parts of Europe but the prospect of them opening in Australia has raised the question of who is responsible for their regulation.A Therapeutic Goods Administration spokesman said a breast milk bank would be a state rather than a federal responsibility.A spokesman for the Victorian Department of Human Services said a breast milk bank would come under the State food act.The operators would have to show their product was "free of infection and fit for human consumption" and convince the government that they had strict screening processes in place, he said. - Original Message - From: Helen and Graham To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 6:55 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] WA opens a brestmilk bank for premmie babies Does anyone know if the private milk bank in Melbourne ever got off the ground???

[ozmidwifery] WA opens a brestmilk bank for premmie babies
THE push to open a human milk bank in Sydney is gaining momentum. Specialists in Perth are spearheading an Australia-wide movement to reintroduce milk banks after the emergence of AIDS in the early 1980s forced them to close. Perth's King Edward Memorial Hospital For Women will start operating a milk bank at the end of this month and another bank is preparing to open on the Gold Coast. Sydney neonatologist Howard Chilton said Australia and NSW were long overdue for a human milk bank. "It's not really been on the radar but Perth is putting it on the radar," Dr Chilton said. It has potential to save hospitals money because it lowers the incidence of certain diseases." Premature babies, whose mothers are unable to produce enough milk, will be the main benefactors of the milk banks. Studies have shown human milk is superior to formula and can improve a premature baby's long-term mental and physical health. Despite the spread of AIDS, human milk banks have continued to thrive across Europe and the US. Dr Chilton, who has set up a company to provide the pasteurisers needed to purify the human milk, said Sydney hospitals had expressed interest in buying the $60,000 machines. Biomedical scientist Professor Peter Hartmann, one of the specialists behind the Perth milk bank, said production of milk will "start off slowly".
