Milk Donors & Milkshare - Page 2

[UberMama]

As a donor myself, I mention this site to everyone I know that may have any interest whatsoever (as a parent in need for their child or as a donor).

But like I've found, I have yet to need MilkShare in order to find a recipient family - as word of mouth through friends has found me families without my even trying.

Update & Bump.

I now count myself as a success story on the Milk Share site.

I am encouraging both donors and recipients that I meet in person to post.

I have been contacted more by PM than by post. I have now had four donors contact me and all within driving distance, although I have had a few 2+ hour drives. I loved meeting the donor moms and their babies.

I am still looking for ways to get the word out. I am having a booth at a Mother & Baby Expo in Minneapolis and plan on having a handout for Milk Share there.

Any other ideas ?

Besides Milk Share and for-profit milk banks, are there any other websites or companies that anyone knows of that offers donor breast milk?

Thank you to all who have helped on this thread.

Other things that you can do are change your siggy or put links out on social networking sites.

Also you can send a letter or email to all the people you know, if you feel comfortable. Word of mouth is a powerful too. You can also look up LC's and birth proffesionals-- for HMBANA donations, you can only donate in teh first year-- I wish the hospital would have given me a brochure, or pushed it the way that they did with cord blood banking.
