Donating breast milk?

AGsWife

My daughter won't drink the breast milk I've pumped and frozen. I've called all the local hospitals and they don't accept donations. Does anyone here know where I can donate my milk? I'd hate to see it all go down the drain.

The Hudson Valley Milk Bank

St. Barnabas in NJ may be able to help. They use a milk bank from another state. Also, I hate to suggest this but apparently couples adopting newborns or having babies by surrogate will pay you for breast milk. You can connect with them online.

You  can also donate through Helping Hands Milk Bank. You can donate from the comfort of your own home and don't ever have to leave to get tested or ship the milk. They also send $1/qualified oz to support breast cancer research, and you can get $300 back for the cost of your breast pump. All of the milk goes to Prolacta where it is made into life-saving human milk products prescribed by Neonatalogists for the tiniest babies who are struggling in the NICU. Here's where you go to donate: https://helpinghandsbank.com/breast-milk-donation-application-061913/

Best of Luck!!

FYI...Helping Hands takes your donated breast milk and sells it.  It is not donated to needy families.  I looked into BM donation and came across Helping Hands.  However when I found out they take my donated milk and sell it for a profit I decided to pass.  I now give my excess BM to a friend who went back to work and can't breast feed.  Look in their FAQ section and they disclose they sell the milk.

I just read about the site human milk 4 babies. You can connect with other moms looking for breastmilk through their local Facebook groups.

Thanks, ladies! I *think* I found someone, via a FB group for moms donating/looking for donated milk.
