More than milk... its a heart thing!
More than milk... its a heart thing!
To date, I have donated just over 2000oz to 6 different families. Since my freezer is back to normal, I will donate to one family regularly.
It is funny how my mindset has changed since I became aware of this great need! When my supply drops at all, I begin to think of whatever I can do to increase it again. I consider a drop in supply to be days when I pump less than 60oz. LOL But in any case, on those days, I drink more water, add another pumping session and take More Milk Plus. Am I crazy? Maybe. But all I can think is the baby or babies that will benefit when my supply is at its best! It's become more than just pumping a little extra milk. These kids are in my heart! I love them even though I've never even seen most of them or met any of them. It makes me so happy when I think that something that I have a little extra of potentially helps keep my milkbaby out of the hospital and healthy. Such little effort on my part means so much to them!
My lactation consultant now knows about this site and will be passing it on!
So, Pump on milk mamas! Those babies need ya!
THANK YOU, MILKSHARE!

I just wish I knew about Milkshare sooner on my second child. (I'm feeding my third baby right now. ) Yep, we need to spread the word about Milkshare!

Since milkshare, my baby has been on exclusively breastmilk. I am so thankful for all of you donors that take the time to pump for us. It means the world to me that people would go to all these extra lengths to help out a baby they've never met.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart for giving my little girl what I can't!
