I have been blessed by many moms in the past year with milk for my son since I cannot produce any breastmilk for him. We're almost out of our freezer stash (2-4 days left) and looking for more. I'm also expecting #3 this month (due Oct 19) and although I'm trying everything I can beforehand to make sure I can nurse her, we're just not sure until she's born if I'll be able to produce milk again, so I'm also looking to build up a bit of a freezer stash for her as well. I was able to successfully nurse (and even donate) my 5 year old but after having a pituitary tumor (that caused infertility for 4 years) removed, I was not able to nurse my son. Since it's been more than a year since my surgery, my doctors are hopeful that I will be able to nurse the new baby, but at the same time not promising anything of course. I was blindsided by the not producing any milk with my son and had to put him on formula for 4 months (with me using an SNS and doing everything I could to produce milk) until we heard about milk sharing, and we've had him on donor milk since then. I want to be prepared for the possibility this time so to have milk for her if needed would be awesome. I know there is great need in NC (Raleigh area especially it seems), but if anyone has any milk and is mostly drug free (my husband request no anti-depression drugs - psychotic drugs, I think), we would be very grateful for it! I will happily send/give you breastmilk bags - just let me know your preference!
We're in Fuquay Varina (just south of Raleigh), my husband works in Cary, my doc office is at UNC Chapel Hill and my family lives in the Concord/Charlotte area, so we're willing to drive/meet to get milk.
Thank you for reading & your consideration,
Shelley Duchemin
