Guide to Donating Breastmilk

Posted by Rachel on September 5, 2007

The International Breastfeeding Symbol Project blog has put together a guide to donating breastmilk that explains which milk banks are non-profit and for-profit, and informal mother-to-mother donation. Check it out if you’re considering making a donation.

    My 6 week old baby is not tolerating lactose and I had to start using soy formula. I feel guilty and want to keep nursing him but I cant so I want to donate my milk. I have quite a bit frozen and am willing to keep pumping if I can find a mother who needs it. I am interested in donation. Please help me help someone else.

    I have about 12 storage bags of breastmilk in my freezer and I’m done breastfeeding my 14 month old. I was extremely nutricious during my breastfeeding months and would like to donate my milk to someone. If anyone is interested, I live in Brooklyn, NY and can be contacted at cheryl76@gmail.com. I do not smoke, drink or take drugs and ate mostly organic foods while breastfeeding.
