Am I crazy or did you post about donating BM? I'm thinking about donating some I can't use, and just wondering where to start.
If I'm totally making this up, please ignore me, I'm not getting a lot of sleep these days.

Re: Jerkstore
I did. I donated 300 oz (!!!) through Eats on Feets (find it on Facebook). I selfishly wanted to meet the person I was donating to, and I had all these weird dellusions about our babies being kindered for life because of my breast milk. I was severely disappointed when she didn't even bring her baby when we met up and she didn't even say thank you. Yes, you read that right. She also told me that she EBFs, but she needed extra milk to supplement. I had a grand vision of helping out a mom who just couldn't BF at all.
I had a hard time with it for a day or two, because a lot of work went into making that milk. Then I finally told myself that the baby needed the milk and the baby wasn't a ***. She was. And also, that it wasn't about me at all. I was being really stupid. After I had that epiphany, she emailed me to say thanks and to show me some pics of her baby, which was nice.
But all things said and done, I'm still very glad I did it. If you're a control freak like me though, I suggest anonymous donation. It's a great thing to do. Go for it!
