UPDATE:  This equipment has been delivered

We have been approached by medical staff from the Neo Natal Unit at Chorley and South Ribble Hospital, for help in providing an Electric Breastpump to assist mothers to express milk for very sick and pre-term babies. This state of the art piece of equipment is much more effective than equipment currently on the unit, and will help mothers to easily produce natural breastmilk for their babies. The pump will be of great benefit during the first few days after delivery when many mothers find it difficult to express milk, a problem that is increased by the stress of having a premature labour and a sick baby. It is particularly important for these seriously ill babies to receive breastmilk, as it helps the baby to build up immunity and gain weight at a critical time.
