Need milk for my Newborn!
Re: Need milk for my Newborn!
I have extra milk to donate. I am north of Atlanta off I-575. My baby is a bit over 7 months and I have milk from the end of January on. The milk is kept on a deep freeze from the time is frozen.
I do not drink coffee or tea... maybe a coke every now and then.
let me know if you are interested. My freezer is almost full and do not want to have to throw any away.

Might be a perfect fit
I live in northern Atlanta suburb and have had a huge oversupply since day one. My daughter was born November 20, 2009 and I immediately had to start pumping because we had some latch problems. This created an oversupply and though we are great breast feeders now, the oversupply is still there. I currently have 1400 ounces in the freezer and though my husband and I want to save some of it in case something happened to me or my supply, I also don't want to throw away breastmilk either. We decided to give away my milk on a monthly basis, one month before it would "expire." All the milk has been frozen within 48 hours of pumping and it is stored in a deep freezer. It sounds like you and I might be a perfect match. I could give you my milk from early December in May and then go from there. I will go count up exactly how much it is, but it will probably be around 200-250 ounces a month. In addition, because of the differences in ages of our kids, you will be getting the milk from the same time period (i.e. your son would be drinking milk for a 2 week old that was pumped for a 2 week old). I have been told that this is best.
Just to give you a heads up in case it is important, I am not dairy free and I do drink caffeine (not excessively, but I do have it). In addition, I will have a glass of wine every now and then (average once per month). I always test my breast milk for the alcohol content before freezing it. I am very healthy and all my pre/post natal tests came back great.
Please let me know if you are interested and what we should do. I have never donated before, but would love to help out as I am a big believer in breast milk!

Re: Need milk for my Newborn!
I live in Seattle, WA--but I'm in Atlanta for a few days. Since, I'm away from my baby, I continue to pump to keep the milk supply going and hoping that I can nurse him once I get home. I don't plan to take the milk home, and I cried when I poured it down the drain last night. I'd love to donate the milk I pump to your baby. You can keep it frozen. I'm attending a conference and staying in a hotel downtown Atlanta, are you close?
Best of luck with your new baby.

Need milk for my Newborn!
I have a condition, where trauma experienced to the breast has damaged the tissue extensively, to the point where I cannot produce
enough milk of my own. I'm desperately trying to find an alternative to formula, as formula created a lot of problems for our older child.
Since I don't know the exact day when I will be holding that newborn baby, I need to have some availible (to be frozen) to feed immediately
after birth.
If you think you might be able to help me out, I would be forever thankful and grateful!
(I would arrange to pick it up, regardless of whether it is a one-time or ongoing supply donated).
