Milk to Donate - West Chester, PA

Greetings,

I sent you a PM. Please let me/everyone know if the milk is already claimed/picked up.

Blessings, Siobhan

Would you be willing to ship to a baby who is not a newborn, but is completely formula intolerant? I have a FedEx account and can cover shipping costs, send replacement bags, and reimburse the costs for dry ice, etc. I'm PMing you more details.

Thanks for being a willing donor to babes in need! Ladies like you can literally save the life of a baby!

Hi, I am a first time mom from West Chester, PA. I have a healthy and growing 2 ½ -month-old baby boy who had trouble latching on and nursing. My husband and I purchased a pump to bottle feed him after coming home from the hospital, but I’ve had more milk than needed. Recently, at 7 ½ weeks, he began to latch (after piling on many painful hours of failed attempts over the weeks, and followed by much rejoicing!). Now the refrigerator freezer in our apartment has about sixty 6-oz Lansinoh bags of frozen milk that I don’t think we will be needing. The bags were frozen (and dated) within two days of pumping, and includes some of the early milk (colostrum) from the first days after delivery. It would be great if we could give that to a NEW newborn in need. I am willing to continue pumping if there is a family in the area that is in need of a long time supply of milk. I would prefer to donate locally but am willing to ship if recipient covers the costs of packing and shipping.

I am a 26-year-old Christian high school Physics teacher currently on maternity leave. I never drink alcohol, and am currently drinking water almost exclusively each day except a coffee once a week and milk with breakfast every other day. I am currently taking prenatal vitamins. I have never had any serious health problems. I would be willing to have a blood test if requested by a local recipient but have not yet done so.
