Interview summary
Home : Resources : Primary data : Interviews
Pam is a NICU lactation consultant at one of the largest healthcare facility within a healthcare system that has over 900 facilities
She is specialized due to the size of the facility with NICU lactation consultants and in-patient lactation consultants being distinct roles; her focus is on mother's milk, not donor milk
At smaller facilities, lactation consultant responsibilities includes management of donor milk as well as mother's milk
Pam has offered to take an advisory role moving forward, and she is going to refer us to the dietician that manages the donor milk in the facility
As a NICU lactation consultant, if a mother's supply is good and might expire or if there has been an infant loss, they offer donation as an option
If a baby or mother is transferred to another facility within the healthcare system, the mother's milk has to be relabeled facility to facility - an opportunity to standardize the labeling across the full healthcare system
When Mother's bring in their milk for their baby in the NICU, there are kiosks where the mothers can check in the milk; they use a barcode labeling system
Expiration of milk
Donor milk is the responsibility of the dietician on staff who manages the supply with donor banks and the milk preparation onsite
