Need donated breast milk for 3 week old adopted son! :)

Thread Starter 

Hello!  We just adopted a newborn baby boy who is 3 weeks old now :) & would love to keep him on breast milk. I have actually been doing induced lactation/adoptive breastfeeding for him but with 8 pumps per day (for over 6 weeks) I am still only pumping a total of 4 ounces per day - only enough for 2 of his 10 feedings per day. :( We live in Lubbock (NW Texas) and would appreciate your milk so much. Of course, we would pay all expenses if you would be willing to ship to us. Or if you live within a few hours of us we would love to pick up any donations from you. Thank you so very much for any donations, leads or help you can offer!! Kimberly kimberly101010@hotmail.com

Congratulations on your new son!
I'm sorry I don't have any milk for you but I wondered if you're feeding your little one with bottles or at the breast? If you're using bottles, you might consider using a Lact-Aid - http://www.lact-aid.com/ It was developed for an adoptive mother who wanted to nurse her babies so they'd get all the other benefits of a breastfeeding relationship.
