Colostrum/Newborn milk available in Houston area (or San Antonio or Bryan)
Re: Colostrum/Newborn milk available in Houston area (or San Antonio or Bryan)
I have a 5 week old daughter, Landree and I am very interested in giving her your milk! Let me briefly tell you a little about my(our) situation! Landree was born @ 39 weeks, via c-section. I was very excited about breastfeeding my sweet baby! I wasn't able to nurse until about 6 hours post surgery and when I asked for a lactation consultant to help me, one was not sent until 2 days later...I had to basically teach myself, and Landree how to BF, since my nurse wasn't very helpful! When we were discharged from the hospital, my pediatrician told me to supplement with formula to get Landree to gain weight, (she was 5lbs, 10oz), so I did! After 1 week of BFing and supplementing with formula, I was not expressing any milk..I have been pumping for the past 3 weeks and have only yielded a few teaspoons of milk...I have done everything the lactation consultant has told me to do, and still no milk! I have beat myself up over not being able to provide my precious baby with the best!
Thank you!

Colostrum/Newborn milk available in Houston area (or San Antonio or Bryan)
I am in the League City area of Houston, so a local pick up would be best, but we'll be in San Antonio and Bryan for gymnastics meets in February so someone in either of those places might work out as well.
About me, I am a 31 year old mother of 4, and I have exclusively pumped with all of them because of prematurity and latch issues. My youngest is 7 1/2 months, and happy, healthy, and thriving. I eat as healthy as I am able to with 4 kids and a full-time job, and drink about 1-2 diet cokes a day. I drink a beer in the evening about once a week and always wait at least 3 hours before pumping. During the time that the newborn milk was pumped I don't think I had anything to drink and very little caffeine. I may have had an advil or two during that time.
Please email me at amymolander@yahoo.com if you are interested in this milk!
