Day 6 of Dresses for Lives and our freezer is empty of milk to pasteurise.

We need more donors so we can replenish our pasteurised milk stocks. Can you help?

NB: Only milk in excess of your own baby's needs please - your baby comes first!

Milk or financial donations both help get donor milk to babies in need.

Here's the Milk Matters Team, Stephanie, Amy and Jenny, all in our dresses. Just missing our beloved volunteer, Debbie, as today was not a Debbie Day.

To sponsor the team, please use the reference DFL when making your payment.

We wear the dresses and ask you to sponsor us for doing so, with all proceeds going directly to Milk Matters to help get donor milk to tiny premature babies in hospital.

Every cent counts. Every drop counts. Every baby counts.

Day 3 of Human Milk Banking Week and Dresses for Lives.

Today you see our biggest challenge - keeping our freezers filled so we can keep feeding medically fragile premature babies.

Stocks are very low, as you can see in our freezer of unpasteurised milk. There is not enough to pasteurise a full cycle tomorrow.

So today we ask for both donations of breastmilk and donations of funds if you have enough to share.

Every drop counts. Every cent counts. Every baby counts.

Sometimes though, a mother is not able to provide the breastmilk her baby needs – and what alternative is used matters.

My dress wearing for Day 2 of Dresses for Lives started far too early in Day 2.

1.45am in fact, when I rushed in to work to rescue a freezer full of milk when I got an alert that there was a problem with the freezer.

The milk is fine and safely moved to a different freezer in the nick of time. Thank goodness!

This does, however, mean we have 2 freezers needing repair now, so please donate funds towards the repairs?

Every cent will help towards covering the costs.

PS Yes, the Proof of Dress "middle of the night moving milk and freezers" photo is the same dress as on Day 1 - it was closest to thrown on. I put on a clean dress when I got up again after a few hours of sleep.

Donor milk recipients are tiny premature babies, born far too soon and very tiny - and with a high risk of serious, even fatal complications.

These tiny babies need to be fed exclusively breastmilk to have the best chance of survival in their early days.

If their own mother cannot provide all the breastmilk they need, then donor milk is a lifeline.

Your donations of your extra breastmilk will go a long way as 50ml can feed a newborn prem baby for a full 24 hours!
