Synopsis
Just over two weeks ago, the He Piropiro Waiu Human Milk Bank opened in Northland. It is the first for the region and will provide valuable donated breast milk for sick babies particularly those born prematurely. Previously these babies would mainly have received infant formula but when their mother's milk isn't available, experts say donated breast milk is the next best thing. Sue Bree is the director of midwifery for Northland.
