One reason why I love Born

Today a lady came in the shop to buy washable nappies for her twin girls that are currently in special care in our local hospital. As well as expressing milk for them she has already donated a huge volume of milk to Southampton hospital for their milk bank. Until the Precious Drops Campaign raises enough money to build one we won’t have a milk bank in Bristol. We were all in awe at her committment to breastfeeding and also supplying the Southampton milk bank. Fast forward a couple of hours and my friend who is a pregnancy yoga teacher rings me to ask if I know of anyone who a client of hers would be able to obtain surplus breast milk from for her baby as he needs more than she is able to produce. Yes I do! So I introduce these two ladies to one another and realise how valuable it is to connect people up and how you never know the impact one conversation will have if shared. And of course I realise how much I love Born for who we are in the world.
