Over 300 oz. frozen milk for donation in Brooklyn
Re: Over 300 oz. frozen milk for donation in Brooklyn
My son was born at 26 weeks and was 1lb 9oz and 13 inches long. There have still been ups and downs, infections and breathing tubes but overall he is doing well. He has been in the NICU 7 weeks and will be there at least another month we are told.
In addition to everything I do not produce enough milk. Breast milk is very important for micro preemies (what Asa is since he was under 2lb at birth). They have no immune system and can not fight off any infection. I am only producing 3oz in 24 hours. He is fed through a feeding tube and he only eats about 1oz every 3 hours right now (though they increase it every day) and I can't even come up with that. It's very devastating to be because I know that he will never get the immune system he needs from formula. He needs the antibodies. .Please let me know if you have milk and can help. Thank you

Thank you so much for offering your milk.
My little girl is almost 3 months old. I had breast surgery as a teenager so breastfeeding is a continuing struggle for me. The first weeks were very difficult but i manage to provide her half of her milk by nursing and pumping a lot. A friend gave me some of her milk but she will goback to work soon.
I would love some of your milk if you still have it
All the best,
alma's mother

I have healthy diary, no smoke, no coffee, no alcohol and no medicine. My baby is healthy and chubby. I hope I can use the surplus milk to help any baby who is in need.
Please let me know if I can help.
