We have a few firm guidelines here at MilkShare, so please take note:

1. Absolutely NO selling of breastmilk or adult fettish requests permitted- report violations using the link at the bottom of page.
2. Donors should be refunded the cost of basic supplies. Recipients should pay for shipping costs in advance.
Please make these arrangements in advance and clearly communicate the expectations of both parties.
3. Most important: share milk responsibly and take steps to protect recipient children from diseases that are transmittable
through breastmilk. Helpful information is available on our website.

Hello! I'm brand new here so forgive me if I mess something up. I'm a mom to 7 kiddos, 6 of whom are twins (yes, we have 3 sets of twins). All 7 of my kids have been preemies to varying degrees and I've ended up pumping for all of them. I know all of the supply increasing tricks in the book and still suffer a major decline around 6 mo where I'm not able to keep up with the needs of two babies anymore. My supply generally disappears entirely 9-10 mo. Literally just drops of milk.

My youngest babies are 4.5 mo now and, due to my own freezer stash, we have enough milk to make it about another 1.5 mo on full EBM based on my current pumping output of 35-38 oz per day. However, they are increasing their feeds and my supply just fell from 50 oz per day to 35-38 oz per day in the span of one month! Hence, we're defrosting milk daily now. Our goal has always been 100% EBM until 1 year of age, and we want to make that happen. I could probably never personally donate due to the fact that I take 15 rx meds per day, so we're fine with most BF'ing safe meds.

What we really need is a freezer stash, if at all possible. We're going to go through potentially THOUSANDS of ounces of EBM. We have a chest freezer and I will re-donate any milk that we don't use, but I'd be stunned if it was any since we're talking two babies, my dwindling supply, etc.

Since I'm new, I would like to share my blog with you... pics of my family, and a post about BF'ing and its importance to me that I wrote over time, so you know we're legit. I don't have a lot of time to write much more here, but want a donor to know we're real, we are committed to 100% EBM, and we'd love your milk. Please, oh, please. We're in Mt. Baker, but my husband works on the Eastside, so we can travel a bit. Especially if you have a lot. We'll figure it out.

This is my blog: http://homesteadingandthecity.blogspot.com

Thank you for reading!
