Re: try craigslist
I am really freaking out right now.
Fist off I found somebody wanting milk on craigslist. So i emailed knowing that it could possibly be a perverted male.It was. I just stated that I had extra milk since my child won't take a bottle. He said someting to the effect i need a lc consultant and I need and experienced suckler such as himself and he could meet me. I deleted and blocked. But When i saw his msg it said my whole name. I was like greatall he has to do is look up my name and kansas and find me. Will not EVER be posting to craigslist again EVER. On the upside somebody replied to my post on here. I didn't really know what to say and I can't think right now b/c i'm worrying if i might have a stocker now. All i have to say is good ting we are moving next month!

Re: try craigslist
Hi everyone,
I am looking for some generous mommies who have a stash of breast milk they are willing to donate to my twins. We have been trying everything to increase my supply including several pricey precriptions with no luck. This has been an on going battle from the day they were born. They came into the world two months early at St Luke's in Boise and spent 30 days in the NICU where they were unable to nurse so I have been pumping from the beginning. My supply never fully came in so we have been playing with formula from the start. We have yet to find anything that totally works for them. We've tried lactose-free, alimentum, soy, nutramigen and they are currently on Neocate (rx that costs $62.60/can, they go through almost 2 a day!) which is helping some, but doesn't do near what breast milk does for them. We were lucky to have a couple of donors over the past couple of months, but they have since weaned and we are back on formula. The boys immediately started screaming constantly through the day and have mucousy, bloody diarreah along with horrible gas and throwing up multiple times after each feeding. They also have GERD (explains the puking ) and it gets aggrivated with the formula and causes them pain. They have never had these issues with bm so if at all possible we'd love to keep them on it as much as possible and with my situation, the only way we can do this is to use milk from wonderful, generous donors who want to help my boys. Due to their meds, bills, and formula we can't afford much, but I will certainly reimburse bags, or just buy new ones. I know this is a lot to ask, I know what it is like to spend hours a day on a pump. It's alot, it can be overwhelming, but we are hoping and praying someone out there has a stash of milk sitting in their freezer they don't know what to do with or someone has an overabundant supply and would be willing to pump some for the boys. It would be more than appreciated and would make such a difference in their little lives. Now, one thing I do ask is that you are disease free, and only take baby safe meds (Tylenol or Motrinfrom time to time, or some other meds that are considered safe are fine). I would prefer to see copies of bloodwork from your pregnancy or more recent if possible just as a safety precaution so I can see you don't have anything that will affect them. Please be honest with me, it's my babies health at stake. I know this may seem strange, but we are desperate to find something/someone to help them and it seems this is our only option. I have been scouring Milkshare with some luck, but we've ran out, so here we are on Craigslist!
We are from Twin, but moving to Meridian in two weeks. I will be down with the boys Friday and can meet up then in anyone has some ready to go along with their bloodwork. For safety reasons I would prefer to meet in a public place close to your home the first time. This is just to ensure you are real and really have a baby you are nursing. Same on your part, you can see me and my guys. There are just too many weirdo's out there to risk going to people's personal homes until you have met! I will be more than happy to reimburse for the gas it takes to get that place aswell. We'll work out whatever is most convenient for you. Thank you so much for considering us and we look forward to talking with you!

Creepy
I have not posted on Craigslist, and wouldn't necessarily worry about it because I always list my posts as anonymous. Someone can still respond, of course, but they won't know your private email address. And as mentioned, you can always create an account on Craigslist so posting is a breeze. I looked here in Los Angeles and there are no breast milk requests or donations listed -- and this is where three mamas told me they were removed within the hour of posting. So perhaps they are more strict here than in other areas.

Re: try craigslist
On another note, I've recieved tons of responses to my post on Craigslist! No flagging yet. I have several donors lined up now who will be pumping fresh for the boys. I got some amazing women who seem genuinely excited to help us. I also got some very rude emails saying I was stupid for putting my boys in danger, but we all know better than that! I'll be screening them all of course, but as long as they have happy thriving babies, we will be happy to recieve their milk. It's so nice to know people are so open to donations. I never thought I'd be here, but now that I am, it's amazing to me the lengths women will go to help another's child!
