I am looking into becoming a breastmilk donor. There is just one thing bothering me. maybe someone could clear up. I am “donating” my milk and the parents of the baby recieving it are charged such high amounts. Why isnt the milk donated to the parents or charged the processing fee that it took to get the milk to them ?

To follow up about Haiti, the United States Breastfeeding Committee released a statement and call for breastmilk for the Haitian infants. I’ve posted the press release on my site if you want to take a look. Basically they are asking anyone that can to contact their regional Mother’s Milk Bank to donate the first shipment is getting ready to go out to the U.S. Navy Comfort.

I am a prospective adoptive mom, and I look forward to induced lactation. I only wish that I could produce enough milk to have a surplus to donate.

I could never imagine what it would be like to have one extra drop of breastmilk. I never had any extra at all.

But I think it is so wonderful when women who do have surplus donate.
