Thank you for donating your milk for research. We appreciate your consideration at this difficult time and would be grateful if you could complete the record form: 

We want to make the screening process as easy as possible. The healthcare team caring for you and your baby, can talk you through this and answer any questions you may have. You can also speak to the milk bank staff directly on 0141 232 7973. 

All families who donate after loss, can have their baby’s name added to the tree. We also gift a Memory Milk Pebble with the baby’s name to remember their precious gift to others. These are available at any time during the donation journey or afterwards by filling out the Memory Tree Consent Form further below. Families are also welcome to visit the Memory Milk Tree by calling 0141 232 7973 or emailing donor.milkbank@ggc.scot.nhs.uk

You can check if you meet the full criteria for donation, please complete the Screening Form for Donation in the Screening Process section below. 

Sometimes your milk cannot be used to feed other babies. For example, if you smoke or vape or are on certain medication. Your healthcare team or the milk bank can advise you.  

If you would still like to donate milk, we can accept up to two litres for research or other purposes like testing equipment in the milk bank. Please complete the Consent for Research Donations form in the Screening Process section below. 

You can also request a collection of your stored milk by using the Collection Form in the Screening Process section. 

You can download our information leaflet “Breast care after loss” here. We hope this information will help you make decisions about your care and your breastmilk which are right for you. There are also links to organisations and resources that can help you and your family think about options for remembrance as well as to find help and support.

Screening Process

We want to make the screening process as simple as possible. The healthcare team caring for you and your baby can talk you through this and answer any questions you may have. Sometimes your milk cannot be used directly to feed other babies. For example, if you smoke, vape or are on certain medications. In these circumstances, we offer you the choice to donate your milk for research and other purposes like ensuring best practice in the milk bank. You can get the link to both of the consent forms below.

We may also need to have a blood sample from you. These can be taken prior to discharge or by your GP and posted back to us. We provide a special kit for this.

If you have milk stored at home, we can arrange to collect your milk at a convenient time for you. Simply complete the collection form below.  

Continuing to express

Although milk donation does not suit everyone, some families find comfort in continuing to express and donating. We would encourage you to discuss this with the healthcare team caring for you to help make a decision that feels right for you. They can also give you advice about expressing, including how soon to start and how often to express. 

To support you to express your breastmilk, we have organised a free pump loan and set for you to use whilst donating.

Your healthcare team or the Milk Bank will be able to give you the special code for this. Simply add the code when completing the form.

A pump will be delivered to you as soon as possible, usually the next working day. You will have to use a Debit or Credit Card to place the order which will be charged 30p. This will be refunded once the order is processed. If this is not an option for you, please get in touch with the milk bank on 0141 232 7973 or email donor.milkbank@ggc.scot.nhs.uk

Please use these links for instructions on how to use the pump.

We also have dedicated Instagram and twitter accounts for bereaved families where, if you would like, we can share your baby’s story on our Instagram or Twitter

We want to make sure your baby’s name is correct when we paint it on the tree and pebble. We also need to get your consent for it to be included in any media we may use. Can you complete the form using the Consent for Memory Milk Tree and Pebble Contact Form below. 

Use this zone to check your symptoms and get some simple and straightforward advice that might help you to improve your symptoms and take back control over your life.

  • Sudden urge to urinate
  • Pain when passing urine or stool
  • A persistent change in bowel habit

Self Help for Men

Do you visit the toilet too often during the day (more than 7 times) to pass urine? or Do you find it difficult to hold off using the toilet, even for a few minutes?

A few things you could try:

  • Gradually reduce your caffeine intake
  • Double voiding – when you stop urinating sit down (if you normally stand to pass urine) or stand up (if you normally stand to pass urine), count slowly to 20 and sit back down or stand back up and attempt to urinate again
  • Make sure you’re drinking 6-8 glasses of fluid each day
  • Do daily pelvic floor exercises
  • Try not to go to the toilet “just in case”
  • Check your bowel habit, could you be constipated?
  • Ask your GP for advice as this might be related to your prostate
Do you have a small urine leak after your main flow that results in wet or stained trousers?

A few things you could try:

  • Double voiding – sit down (if you normally stand to pass urine) or stand up (if you normally stand to pass urine), count slowly to 20 and sit back down or stand back up and attempt to urinate again
  • “Milking” – pushing the last few drops of urine from the penis with your fingers before the final shake
  • Ask your GP for advice as this might be related to your prostate
Do you have to get up twice or more to pass urine during the night? Are you sure the need to pass urine is what’s waking you?

A few things you could try:

  • Gradually reduce your caffeine intake, especially during the afternoon and evening.
  • Stop drinking 2-3 hours before going to bed but make sure you still drink 6-8 glasses of fluid each day.
  • You might prefer to sip small amounts of fluid rather than stop all fluids after a set time in the evening. (Try sucking ice cubes or ice lollies).
  • Make time to ensure you have fully emptied your bladder and double void before going to bed.
  • Always double void when you get up during the night.
  • Only change one thing at a time so you can identify what is working for you.
Review the medicine you are taking

Many tablets and medications can cause bladder and bowel symptoms or make the symptoms you have worse.  If you have noticed any changes in your bladder and/or bowel habits since starting new medication you may want to discuss this with your doctor.
