Seeking colostrum for November (NoVA) [Update: A donor donated plenty. TY]
Re: Seeking colostrum for November (NoVA) [Update: A donor donated plenty. TY]
I am still looking for (confirmed) colostrum donor... (and breastmilk too).
Sorry so short, but I'm in the middle of moving across country!

Five weeks from now is plenty of time to find someone... but it is also a month before we move out there. I'll see what I can do. I found someone in Richmond who would go to NoVA... but, I am looking for someone closer to you. I noticed you said something about Baltimore in another post... whereabouts are you? You can PM me if you prefer.

I nursed my 4 year old for 2 years while on Zoloft.
I will return to the midwife in about 5 weeks for my postpartum check and will get copies of my blood work for you.

Would you like me to pick up the milk personally in November?
Or should I find someone there who could hold it for me? (I am working on that already if you choose this option.) If so, I will PM you more details so you are assured your milk is going to a newborn baby.
Also, medical records from pregnancy would be good to see. I have heard Zoloft is safe during breastfeeding... but I haven't checked LactMed.

Seeking colostrum for November (NoVA) [Update: A donor donated plenty. TY]
I experienced low milk supply with my first baby who is now 25 months old. I have recently discovered that I may just have insufficient glandular tissue (IGT). I have spoken with experts Jennifer Tow and Diana Cassar-Uhl... both well regarded in the lactation community and have learned so much!
But despite my efforts, I didn't experience breast changes (again) with DC#2 so I am expecting low milk supply from day 1 with DC#2. I will be pumping colostrum as my due date approaches. But, I am still seeking colostrum for when we arrive/move to NoVA Nov 1 before the baby is due. If you want to donate it sooner, I can find someone there to hold it for me. We do request to see medical records during pregnancy and appreciate any amount you have to offer.
Thank you.
