We're almost out! Can anyone donate?
Milk Share
Do you still need milk? I currently have a freezer full of breast milk that I've been collecting since May. My daughter was born in March and originally I thought I would use it when I weaned her, but I've decided to bf until she's a year, so I won't be needing it. I live in Rindge, NH which is on the MA line. If you are interested please contact me at cmcottreau@yahoo.com for more information. Thanks.

We're almost out! Can anyone donate?
I am looking for donations for my son, Luke. We are down to about 5 days worth of milk in the freezer. To complicate things I have to go out of town Wednesday afternoon so I'm hoping to arrange a pick up before then if possible. If not, it can be next week too, but it would be helpful to have it here for him while I'm gone.
I am a 35 yr. old mom of 3; two girls ages 10 and 6 and now Luke 9 mos. I struggled with trying to get my milk to come in for the girls. I tried pumping all the time, herbs, supplements - nothing worked and I had no choice but to use formula. This time my midwife discovered I have hypoplastic breasts; not enough milk ducts to make sufficient milk. To complicate things further I had serious complications at Lukes birth which required major surgery and a lot of blood being transfused. It took me many months to recover so breastfeeding was even more difficult that with the girls. Even with herbs, domperidone and extra pumping I could only get a total of 1/2 ounce when things were at the very best.
Fortunately my midwife introduced me to milkshare so Luke has been the lucky recipient of a good amount of breast milk. If there's any way we can find enough donations to keep him going at least to 1 year I will be a very happy mama.
We live in Beverly, MA (the North Shore). I am happy to drive some to pick up a donation, but I do try to weigh the time and gas/environment vs. number of ounces. Although I'm thrilled to receive ANY amount of milk, I do think that at some point it may not make sense to do the drive.
Thank you for considering us. And to all the donors who are reading regardless of if you can donate or not - my sincere thanks for all you do! Taking the time and energy to donate is unbelievably kind and generous. I so wish I was in the fortunate position to be donating instead of asking for donations. But, since I can't, I'm beyond grateful for all who do.
Thank you!
