The Red Cross Australia Lifeblood Milk Bank milk donor guidelines were developed using international standards with adaptation to Australian epidemiology. Over the first 12 months of Lifeblood’s Milk Bank operation the authors recorded the number of donors whose milk was not accepted and the reasons for rejection.
The physiological process of lactation is triggered by pregnancy and birth and is hormonally driven. It occurs even in the absence of a living infant. Each year, over 4000 Australian women experience late miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal or older infant death. Previous research has shown that many women feel unsupported by their healthcare team in regards to lactation after infant death.
