i would. i have donated breastmilk for a close friend's baby and I know that it was so great for her while building up her milk supply to supplement with that in the sns. (not that you couldn't use formula in the sns)

i hope your ped agrees

Well, I'll be the voice of dissention.

I would only take milk from someone I knew. The immunity issues are very important to me and I really feel like bm is a closely personal and/or local issue. I appreciate mamas donating, but I would only want milk from my area.

I know I'm crazy.

The milk from a milk bank would be pasteurized and tested, so completely safe. I'd do it for sure if I were you. Hope you find a doc to write a script.

my concern would be that you need as much stimulation as possible to get production going up. Bringing in foodsource from anything but you could affect production. Or are you using a sns?

best wishes

I'd definitely do it!! We were having problems with my supply and Eli gaining weight and a friend who I knew and trusted pumped for me to supplement him with, I am forever grateful to her for that!

Donor milk was just such a blessing for us. I didn't qualify for banked milk (my babies were healthy enough that they did okay on formula) but received donor milk from friends and acquaintances in our area. And it was just so precious to us. There's nothing else like it. I also donated later on as my milk came in, and passed on the kindness we received. It makes me sad that we're so accepting of cow's milk as a normal food, but human milk seems like a gross thing to some people.
