Our team of dietitians are running the Bristol Half Marathon to raise
money for our smallest patients.  Many of the babies we care for need to
receive their nourishment through a feeding tube.  This means their
mothers need to use a breast pump to express their precious milk up to ten
times a day.  For critically ill babies, breast milk is like liquid
gold.  With increasing demand, we are raising money so the hospital can
purchase more breast pumps to make it easier and more convenient for mothers
when they need to express.  During what is a very anxious time for
families, these specialist pumps can help make it less stressful for mothers to
express their milk which is an integral part of their care and their precious
little ones’ health and development.
