Breast Pump Program - presented by Medela
Parents of premature and sick babies often need to establish their milk supply using a breast pump whilst in hospital and then at home.
Thanks to our generous partner Medela, this year we will be gifting over 300 Medela Swing Maxi Double electric pumps to families in a NICU across Australia
How does the Breast Pump Program work?
We work closely with the social work team and lactation consultants at our partnering hospitals to ensure our services help families when they need them most. Breast pumps are allocated and distributed through our hospitals to ensure that those that need them most are supported.
If you are a patient at one of our partnering hospitals, please speak to your social worker about the application process or ask the social workers to contact Amy Baker, National Programs Coordinator at LLTF at email abaker@lltf.org.au.
We are thrilled to be partnering with Medela to provide this vital support to parents of premature and sick babies. This donation will make a significant impact on the lives of many families, enabling them to continue their feeding journey and providing the best possible start for their babies.”
“It is a great honour and a pleasure for us to partner with Life’s Little Treasures in their support of parents on their prematurity journey, often a journey they haven’t anticipated. At Medela, we always try to do more as we know that the need is great. This Breast Pump program ensures parents have access to pumps when they need it most, supporting them in having the best chance in establishing their milk supply during such a difficult time.”
