Sabina Higgins supports launch of Antenatal Colostrum Harvesting Packs, a Breast Feeding Initiative for Breastfeeding week

Sabina Higgins lent her support to an initiative by Sligo University Hospital to help breastfeeding mothers to get off to a better start.  

The antenatal education team in Sligo University Hospital are distributing Colostrum Harvesting Packs to pregnant women as a way to increase breastfeeding initiation rates. The packs contain storage syringes, labels and an information leaflet with a link to an information video. The video instructs women on how to hand express, collect and store colostrum which is so beneficial for newborn health.
