Has anyone donated breast milk?

I'm pumping twice what dd needs right now. Obviously I'll be freezing some, but I hate to see any go to waste and was thinking about donating.

If you did, did you donate to a bank or a specific person? Are there any legal risks to donating to another person?

    A lot of milk went bad when I was nursing DS because I was too unsure to donate. I hate that it was wasted!

    I don't want that to happen again.

  • Another one that did HMFHB.  It was easy.  Once I delivered because I felt bad for the woman because she didn't have transportation during the day and she would have to drag the baby out at night.  Another girl just stopped by and picked it up.

  • I'm so jealous of all you women. I could never produce more than 1-2 oz at any given time. Maximum respect.

  • Thank you for posting this! I did not know about HMFHB. I will have to see how my freezer stash is looking when I am ready to wean, but I think I may have some to donate at that point if things keep going the way they are going.

    My advice is to check it earlier than that. Often milk only last six months frozen unless it's in a deep freezer.

    With DS I ended up throwing out milk. :-(
