Milk donation Anyone here a milk donor? I produce more milk than my son needs as my son has started…

I donated with my third. He's 16 mths now. It was a bit if a hassle dropping it off etc but really worth it. If you google it you cab find out your nearest hospital that has a milk bank as not all do. I used to express first thing in the morning as that worked best for me. If you have any questions feel free to pm me x

Thank you for replying.

I've just been in contact with them and because my son is nearly 6 months and because they have enough milk they don't need me to be a donor. I could have expressed 200-300oz a month too. I guess I just need to drop my morning pumping session and let my supply reduce. Just seems like such a waste. It's only because my son has started weaning and now sleeps through the night I have this over supply. Oh well.

That's a shame. Such a nice thing to do

I know! :-( thanks Kitty. X

Is it only done through hospitals? I have no idea but maybe there is other options? X

Human milk 4 human babies have a Facebook group that could link you up with someone local needing donor milk.

As your baby gets older your milk changes. As the majority of the milk is used for prem babies they need milk from mums of younger babies. I had to stop at six months as well x
