Per Kim from Multicare Clinical Director Women's & Children's Services

The items in our example hand expression kit are:

Antenatal hand expression pamphlet (see attached)

8x10 plastic bag to fit everything

(5)1 ml oral syringes (we use the Neomed orange oral syringes)

(3) 3 ml oral syringes

(1) 2-pack 35 ml Medela Breast Milk Collection containers (other colostrum collectors that patients can purchase discussed during our meeting were momcozy, hakaa, maymom.com)

A sheet of labels so the patient can date and time when they collected the colostrum

Breast milk storage guidelines (we are hoping for this group to vote on one of the standard guidelines, then we can get a magnet created through our print shop for one that mirrors the one CHAS uses – see in photo)

“Don’t forget the colostrum” luggage tags (see attached) – I am asking our print shop to put 4 tags on an 8 ½ x 11 card stock, then punch a hole in the corner. The OB offices can attach ribbon to the tags before putting in the kit.

Sandra- I think the new information that’s going out about Vitamin D and babies is good because Sandra is heard from a new mom that “she was using vitamin D drops but it’s not because my breast milk isn’t ‘good enough’”. She had heard this message from WIC and from a few providers visits. So this is a general shout-out to our communities progress.
