Sharing our Milk - Update

Hurray! Mommy jumped through all the hoops and now she's a "qualified donor" to share our milk with babies who need it. She had to do DNA testing and bloodwork and have both of our doctors fill out some paperwork, and now that everything has cleared we are just waiting for our shipping cooler so we can send the milk off to California. Here's a link to our story on the Milkin' Mamas website. http://www.milkinmamas.com/Our-Mamas/Meet-the-Donors

PS - The process to get qualified was not too difficult, even with Mommy teaching full-time and being a busy Mama. So if you are a breastfeeding mommy out there and you think you might be able to share your extra milk, we definitely recommend contacting Milkin' Mamas. They make things very simple and they are really nice too!

What a generous and loving gift. As a momma that had trouble nursing but wanted it so desparately, I can understand how grateful the mommas of the babies getting your gift will be. It's liquid gold! Thank you.

What a cool thing that you're doing! Also, you're the only east-coaster on the site so far. It's a great site and a great story. So glad you're doing this! Love you!
