Tons of milk to share, looking to be a LONG term donor
I use a deep freezer and I use Mommy Milk Bags or right now I am on Ziploc bag method I got from kellymom.com. I have everything labeled and dated. I did not start storing until 10/26 because I had Severe Pre-e and I was waiting for the medications to leave my system plus I was waiting for my supply to come in. I was on aldomet 500mg 3 times a day until 10/19 and Labetatol 200mg. I take a daily prenatal (i do forget, a lot), its just a chewy one from Walmart. I was on Iron but have since stopped that, it was 325mg 3 times a day because of anemia.
I will be storing and donating for at least a year, and possibly if things don't become hectic I will continue as long as I can after 12months.
I have donated with all 3 of my daughters and would love to continue to give to those mom's who need this for their precious little ones. I have 4 preemies so I know the importance of BM to preemie moms or even Mom's of full terms. My girls were born at 34, 32 and 28 weeks and baby Chris was born at 36 weeks.
I am an open book feel free to ask anything I hope that I can help someone. I will travel to deliver at the cost of the recipients if they are close within reason. I am a SAHM so I have flexibility. I live in Southern IL in a small town called Marion.
I am very anal of sanitary practices and freezing techniques. I follow Kellymom.com to the T for everything (my go to site).
Thanks again and I hope to help someone or someones, since I have a lot of milk and I can't see 1 child alone needing 250 ounces a week!!!! I can increase my supply very easily, I store this much with only 5/6 pumps a day, if I went to doing it 'right' of 8-12 like they recommend, I could handle long term donation to more.
