Just donated my freezer stash

I had major over supply with DD and was able to create a huge freezer stash. For a bit after I weaned DD from the breast, I was still giving her breast milk smoothies, but she's kinda loosing interest.

I belong to a couple Facebook milkshare groups through my local LLL and tonight i donated about 200 ounces to a mommy of twins with low supply.

I can't even describe how cool it felt. DH was a little weirded out, wondering who would feed their baby another woman's milk which I get. But this is a woman in a circle of "associates" who wants to give it and CAN'T.

I feel so...satisfied, happy, fortunate.

    That's awesome! And I used to think like your DH but really, if you think about it, adults don't drink milk from just one cow... ; ]
