I'm so sorry, mama. I hope that there are people in your life that will support you in the way that you need. Your mil may be responding to the grief in her own way, too, but unfortunately it's not helpful to you. I have found that some people don't know how to appropriately respond to others' grief, though their intentions are pure. I feel best when I define my own understanding of it and feel secure and validated that I have the right to do this. I hope that helps you feel strong in your conviction and definition of what happened. There are very supportive women here, and I hope you find healing, peace, and support here. I don't know anything about milk donation, but it seems like an admirable way to honor your baby's life.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your baby was born alive and was in no way a miscarriage.. don't let anyone tell you differently!

Besides milk banks, there is also Milkshare. This is private donation between yourself and a family or families of your choice. Often, if you wish, the family will send pictures of the baby you are donating to, or if you choose a local family to donate to often you are able to meet the baby during the pickup. Just another option to consider.. I'm very, very sorry for your loss. Forget about terms.. there is no such thing as "just" a miscarriage. The loss of a baby at 6 weeks is the same as a loss at 39 weeks, and everything in between. It is the loss of a baby.

I don't know where you are so I don't know about milk banks local to you. A La Leche League leader should be able to get information for you even if she doesn't have it in her fingertips.
To donate your milk after a loss is a huge gift from your heart. Many, many

unfortunately, my mil definitely does not have pure intentions. She told us we should have had the hospital dispose of "it"
