Are different donors a problem for baby's GI system?
I'm wondering if anybody knows anything about switching beteen different donors and whether this disrupts or distrubs the baby's GI system. In other words, can you alternate between different donors - should you try to do exclusively one person at a time? Is it safe to switc all at once to somebody else or should this be done slowly? I don't know if this has ever even been studied! Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

Going from dairy free bm to one like mine rich in dairy might be hard, but probably not as hard as formula is on a baby's gi.

I used to keep all the milk separated by month, in the deep freezer. I was more concerned about something going missing in the freezer, and it getting too old. We had one 'super donor' (just over 19 GALLONS donated to us!) so her milk was used together for that storage month, then I would switch over to a mixture of everyone else. All our donors did appear to be low or dairy free, so I don't know if that made a big difference.

Now, we're giving donor milk to our 6 week old daughter and she's had more reactions to some of the donor milk we've gotten. She'll spit up more and it seems it all comes from one donor, so it could be because we're not able to give her age-appropriate milk right now... I'm not sure. But, we feel the donor milk is way better for her than any formula. We just keep extra outfits around for her. She seems happy & is growing well, so we hope to keep her on donor milk as long as we can.
