through breastmilk. Helpful information is available on our website.

okay so hopefully you guys don't think i'm crazy for asking this but here goes...
i have breastmilk i would LOVE to donate because i have this stash that i do not need since i'm a sahm now but i'm sort of wary. i would ship it but who's to say i am shipping it to someone that really needs it or if they are just, sorry to say, but a weirdo that has a bm thing. so i would then have to meet the person and then who's to say again that it's not a weirdo that's gonna try something? does this sound crazy? i hate to think this but with the way things are these days one has to wonder and be careful. so how do you work this out where you are comfortable? i would be willing to donate for many others but ideally one person that i could be comfortable with, meet, meet their baby and have them meet my dd but how do you get to that point? thanks for listening to my ramble. thoughts/advice would be great. i don't want my liquid gold to go to waste. Very Happy

As the donor you can certainly request that the recipient meet you, in a public location so you feel safe, and tell them that before you donate to them you'd like to meet their LO and have them meet yours. This would probably put you at ease and make you feel more comfortable and I don't see any reason why a recipient would have a problem with this arrangement. I am a recipient though, not a donor, so perhaps some donors will chime in as well.

I am a donor. I am now donating to 1 milk baby but I have donated to a few others. You don't really even have to ask to meet the baby -- most of the moms are more than happy to show off their baby. Everyone on this forum knows that the world is crazy, and there are weird people out there. Do what you are comfortable with and ask the questions that you feel you need to know the answers. The moms needing milk for their babies are usually more than happy to answer any questions and do anything to make everyone involved comfortable. Meet in a public place -- I usually meet in a busy parking lot. Take an adult friend with you -- I usually take my Dad.

If something makes you uncomfortable about a mom or a situation then find someone else. I have also done internet searches on the email addresses, see if they come up on facebook -- then you at least have a face to go with a name before you meet them.

Donating to another baby is a great experience. As the donor you make the rules -- so do what you need to be comfortable.

Good Luck,
Sandi

I have found that in the talks with the recipient mom that we end up learning quite a bit about each other! (I am a donor) I had one mommy that I was donating to because I was on a business trip and couldn't carry a week's worth of milk home with me! SO we chatted and scheduled. I never met her and she had her sister come pick it up from the hotel after I left town, but I saw pics and just got some random info. I felt like I knew her. You can ask what you want, but I think in your conversations with these people, you will quickly "feel" like it will work or not. Good luck!
