Breast milk donor banks

[Jane Barnett]

Hi

I’d be very interested to know what protocols are in place in Australian
hospitals where breast milk donor banks exist. Our neonatal unit is in
the process of setting up a bank and all milk will be pasteurised;
however, I would like to know what advise is given to mothers regarding
the cleaning or disinfection of the breast pump equipment at home.

Thanks

Dear Jane

Can I suggest you contact Ms Milena Canil, Manager, Policy Instruments and
Compliance Unit at the Department of Health Victoria Australia.

There are ongoing discussions about the
setting up of a breast milk bank here in Victoria and she would be able to
give you some information about this.

You could also contact Ms Bernadette Kennedy who has responsibility for
infection prevention and control within the acute public hospital sector
here.

Hi,
At RPAH NICU we have a breast milk bank.
Suggested contact would be A/Prof Sandie Bredemeyer who is the Clinical
Nurse Consultant for Neonatology and had a lot to do with the setting up
of this program here.
Her number is +61 2 95158923.

The hospital I work for is about to launch a Breast Milk Donor Bank.
The launch is imminent. We have just finalised the policy for cleaning
and storage of bottles and equipment.

Generally, all equipment is manually washed and then processed in washer
for thermal disinfection. The washer/disinfector has a printout that is
evidence the cycle has reached thermal disinfection (final rinse: >90
degrees for 1 min). The items are stored clean in a plastic bag, sealed
and dated with sticker “Washed and disinfected”.

Happy to discuss further.
