Website for donating breast milk?

vtkgirl77 · September 2009

Someone posted a few months ago about a website where you can find moms who really need breast milk for their babies. Does anyone know what it is?

I am considering giving away the rest of my stash because everytime I give DD a breast milk bottle, she gets terrible tummy pains afterwards. For some reason, it just doesn't seem to agree with her like the formula does. Has anyone else had this happen? I only have about 50 oz. but I figure there is probably a baby out there who could really use it.

For awhile dd would be very gassy and fussy after eating. I cut dairy out of my diet and it had made all the difference. I've been dairy free since she was 3 weeks old, and I miss it terribly, but to me it's been worth it. Have you tried cutting out dairy?

I'm not sure about the specific web site you saw posted, but here's a link to some info. from LLL on donating milk:

I'm not sure about the hospital near you, but ours takes donations for the NICU units. That might also be an option for you.

Yes, I think the dairy may be the issue for her. However, I am no longer breast feeding or pumping; it's my stored frozen milk that I'm giving her. I'm going to check with Holy Cross and see if their NICU takes donated milk because I would like someone to get some use out of it.
