AW because I just did something awesome.

in April 2012 Moms
I just donated between 70 and 80 oz of BM to a five week old who is ill and mom can't BF. I know I shouldn't be bragging about this, but I have this happy high going. On right now an wanted to share somewhere... And there's no place better then the bump for news like this...

    That is really awesome! Do you know this child personally or find out about him from another source? I ask because I would love to do this but don't really know if I should just check at a local hospital or somewhere else.

    I think it's a great thing to brag about! I know how having a child in the NICU can cause supply issues. Breast milk is the best thing for that newborn right now. Go momma!

    that is awesome. I hope to be able to do that at some point.

    I know here you can contact the hospital, they send you a questionaire (online) you submit blood work then work through the Denver Milk Bank (and we aren't in colorado- it's just one of the big ones).

    There's also a lot of private donation groups on fb

    Our hospital is in the process of getting a milk bank but they are still short funding.

    That is awesome and inspiring! 

    I hope I will be able to do the same.  I pump but rarely use it since I'll be home with J until mid-January so I really hope to be able to donate some of my milk.

    I pump for storage and Lily doesn't take bottles... I kept about 20 oz and donated the rest. I think I'm going to look into human milk for human babies - I don't mind getting tested!

    Fantastic! I always thought of doing this but just didn't know where to start.
    Sorry no paragraphs, bumping from my phone.
    I once had a picture until the trolls showed up.
