My son was premature and he only eats half an ounce, sometimes one ounce, every 3 hrs. However, I am making way too much milk. I am freezing it but since he is so little, I think some of it might go to waste. Could I donate some of it??

@jacqui2012.jl he didn't have to be in nicu. We stayed at the hospital for 3 days now we are home.
You can donate it but sometimes it's good to put that milk in your bath too! Great for rash for baby or even your bath. Might come handy later though. Especially if you wanna go out.
@tempysmomma is he home or still in the nicu? They usually increase gradually but consistently, my preemie was in the nicu for 3 months by the time she was discharged she was eating 2.5 ounces every 2-3 hours. That lasted a month and half then she was up to 4 ounces. She was at 4 ounces every 3 hours for 6ish months and in a day that is alot of breastmilk.
@ecahanes maybe it will come in handy this summer. With a heat rash?? @jacqui2012.jl most of the time he is only eating half an ounce. When I give him a full ounce he spits it up. Do you think he will really start eating more soon?
Frozen milk is good for a year! I highly suggest keeping it, my biggest regret is my supply for my preemie only lasting me 5 months and not doing anything to keep mu supply up. He may only take 1oz right now but before you know it he will be taking 4 to 5 ounces.
Of course! I'd urge you to look locally first. Mom groups on fb, local groups, other local classifieds. Then call around to hospitals to see if they will accept it.
Keep it because if you decide to just bottle feed with breast milk you will be able to build and have enough until he is one. Or if you plan on breastfeeding for a while you can use it in baths for rashes or whatever
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Some many girls on the way, where are the boys? 👽am I the only one
Our Tiger Cub arrived this am one day before his scheduled csection weighing a whopping 9 pounds 6 ounces at 6:46 am. Ill update soon ladies ❤️
Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.
Can some one please tell me i was reading the pregnancy tracker it says second week you release a egg am i reading this wright in thats were sperm in egg meet!!!
@tempysmomma he will probably eat more in a few weeks. As long as he is gaining weight he is eating the amount he needs.
