Looking to donate- have 50-60ozs plus app 10ozs each day towards donation stash
I want to clarify though that I ONLY do the extra fat adding because CF babies do not absorb fat properly and our daughter fights to gain every ounce. Her CF doctors thought this was a great way to add fat without increasing volume. I am going in the next week or so to get a creamatocrit test done one my milk in 3 ways- 1 is testing the hind and foremilk separately, 1 is testing a mixture and the 3rd is testing a bottle of only hindmilk (pumped separately) with cream added in. that will tell us calories per ounce, fat content,etc. I would be happy to share this info.
I will only be donating the "regular" milk (normally pumped fore and hindmilk mix). I will not donating the "skim" milk (that is what I call the milk that is leftover after I skim the first rise of cream off). However, if you would be interested in it, I would be willing to donate that as well. (You may want to wait until the creamatocrit to see what the calories and fat content is on the "skim" milk before deciding or you may want it to mix with other milk and still others may want to use it to mix with formula for supplementing instead of using water to mix it).
The 50-60ozs is "regular" milk. I mark all milk separately/label it so I am certain of what is what.
About me- I do not smoke, I do not drink (at all other than 1 drink each christmas at our family get together) and no medications other than Armour Thyroid which is cleared by all of my daughter's doctors and mine. I have my prenatal tests showing I am HIV neg and all the other tests (hepatitis,etC). I eat a very good diet, mostly organic, VERY little processed food and only small amounts of dairy because I am lactose intolerant. I am almost completely Gluten free again as well and should be within the next 2 weeks we are just waiting for my daughter's challenge test results before I go 100% again. Please feel free to ask any other questions. I would love to have an ongoing donating relationship because I am so thankful for how well my breastmilk has helped our daughter. She is THRIVING against the odds of Cystic Fibrosis- especially despite the digestive issues she has from CF and her almost completely non functioning pancreas- she is currently 25 & 3/4" and 12lbs 9ozs at 3months exactly (today).
I would even be willing to increase my pumping in order to help someone in need. I am a stay at home mom so I have the freedom to pump whenever.
I hope I can be of some assistance to another precious angel or 2!
I am in Florida in the St petersburg/Tampa bay area I am willing to ship as well.
