I can't answer the actual question, sorry! I would recommend that you
review the excellent videos on hand expression and pumping for premies
at the Stanford website. She might not need donor milk, but she will
likely need lots of support with expression.

We are hoping she will go another 6 weeks, but she's already dilating. My question is: Can the preemie twins safely take donor milk from my daughter who is nursing a 6 month old and willing to donate. In other words, is mature milk safe at all for preemies? And will the NICU even allow it? I have searched the archives and can't seem to find this answer.
