Do you still have milk available?

Hi Kirsten,

If your milk is still available, or if you have future milk to donate, I would love to have it for my three month old baby! I have a very low milk supply and despite my efforts could not exclusively BF him (nor my daughter - sigh). I would gladly replenish/reimburse for the storage bags. I live in Brooklyn and could arrange to pick up whenever is convenient for you.

Thanks.

Nancy

I'm a Brooklyn mom with an overabundance of milk. I have a huge freezer stock already and am willing to donate newly pumped extra milk to someone who needs it. Ideally, a local & recurring recipient.

I am 28 and healthy: no drugs, no history of disease or illness, and a healthy (sometimes organic but not exclusively) diet. I have an occasional glass of wine, always less than 2 oz and always right after pumping so that it has several hours to wear off before the next pumping.

I plan to keep what my baby eats plus a little extra, but that still means I can donate an average of 15 oz a day...subject to change, of course, if/when my baby's intake changes.

I have my pregnancy medical records to show, but extra testing would have to be covered by the recipient if desired. I use 5-oz Medela storage bags; please provide those too. They're expensive enough without giving them away Smile

If you're local, we can arrange frequent pickup of refrigerated bags or occasional pickup of accumulated frozen bags.

I hope my extra milk can be of benefit to someone and not go to waste!
