That $15 an oz guy reminds me of those creepy guys on Craigslist looking to buy used/unwashed panties. Blech.

I actually tried that and couldn't go through with it. It just felt weird

the testing for banks because the gal who started i read got cancer after donating & its a preventative maeasure.

I donated through the Central Ohio Milk Bank. They test donors and milk and they use tge milk through medical prescription, often for hospitalized premies.

I will be donating to a friend this time around. Her daughter has a condition and breastmilk helps, but we don't have a milk bank in the hospital here, and the other hospital only gives their milk to NICU babies, which she isn't.

Eats on feets has local chapters on Facebook. You post an ad and will get a ton of response, trust me and as a recipient, thank you for giving

Kind of off topic, but i am unable to breast feed or produce by pump, but bf had always been very important to me and i still am sad i never was able to do it. Any way, my daughter is 2.5 yrs and was unable to drink what i was able to pump for the very short time i was able to... She gets sick a lot and I've been wondering if i were able to find a donor i trusted, would it be beneficial to her at this age?

Have you tried goats milk? That's pretty nutritious and easy on the stomach.

I donated a months worth of breastmilk to a mom on Milkshare. I love that you can deal with the recipient first hand and there's no fee's, ect.
