Milk bank set up for the first time in Wales to help feed ill or premature babies

A milk bank has been set up for the first time in Wales to help ill or premature babies and, over time, mothers facing feeding difficulties.

The new milk bank hub, based in Singleton Hospital, Swansea, is supplying human milk to babies being cared for in hospital with much of the milk being donated by Welsh mothers.

Donor milk can help ill or premature babies in supporting their feeding, growth, and development and in preventing complications while also supporting mothers who need time to establish their own milk supply.
