Looking for milk for my six week old son

If you need milk, I'll be in Atlanta for a conference this Saturday thru Wednesday and will be pumping to maintain my supply while away from my 7 mo old. He's got plenty here and I don't plan on shipping it back home. PM me and I can give you info on where I'll be.

Hello everyone,

I am the mother of a six-week-old boy named Alejandro. He is my second child. I was unable to produce enough for his sister four years ago due to multiple breast surgeries (to remove benign tumors) and suspected insufficient glandular tissue. I was fortunate with her that I received breast milk donations through MilkShare (the Yahoo group at the time) and through some generous friends. This time around, none of my friends are currently lactating and I unfortunately still cannot produce enough for my beloved son. I currently supplement him with organic formula using at-breast supplementers (Lact-Aid and SNS). I try to give him every meal at the breast because my daughter rejected me completely at three months because of nipple confusion, and I was heartbroken by this. I became an exclusive pumper after this, and I really hated it (though I did it for 18 months) -- I would like to avoid this scenario this time around. When I need a break, my husband finger-feeds him using the same devices I use at the breast. I try not to take many breaks, and so far, my son loves to nurse (thank goodness).

What I'm looking for is a local donor willing to give us donated breast milk and also someone who would potentially be willing to nurse Alejandro directly, if you wish. I would like for us to get to know one another and become friends. I would be willing to pay for the necessary blood tests if you don't already have them. If you have them available, I would like to see the results so that I'm reassured of HIV negative status, as well as STD-free status. I don't have any special dietary needs -- dairy is fine, gluten is fine, etc... I am pretty flexible about medications as well, except some -- like opiates -- could potentially be fatal to a baby, so I can't accept milk that has opiate/opioid pain killers. Let me know what medications you take, and I'll look it up.

I live in Decatur, and I would be willing to pick up milk pretty much from anywhere in the Atlanta metro area (and beyond, if necessary). I know what a sacrifice it is to pump milk, so I greatly appreciate any and all donors and donations. THANK YOU for being so generous with your precious milk!!
