Hi Leslie,

You can contact Eats on Feets or Human Milk for Human babies – they should be able to hook you up with someone local. Best of luck!

Hello mommy’s out there! I was wondering if any of you are still donating your precious milk? My daughter is very medically fragile and needs it to survive…I hope someone reads this soon…our supply is very low!

While checking my own blog’s analytics, I saw that we were both linked on dreamalildream.com I loved reading your story, and the story at dreamalildream as well. I breastfed my friend’s baby last summer and it gave me so much pause for thought. Here is my post on this topic: http://nicoolio.tumblr.com/post/145163852/wet-nursing-crash-course

not that i think one gets thrush from breastfeeding other women’s children. just that i have a paranoia of it, and i know how often my baby’s mouth gets cleaned out and whether or not he’s been sucking on something sweet.

I would breastfeed another baby, although i admit, i would be even more paranoid about thrush! lol.

I am currently a full time working mommy of a beautiful 3 month old girl — I pump to feed her breastmilk exclusively and give all my extra milk to a couple I have known since High School — to feed their daughter who is five weeks younger than mine. It was my boyfriend’s idea & it has worked out beautifully — they are able to give her 2-3 bottles of breast milk a day. I just couldn’t imagine them having to only feed her formula.

Updated comment (1/15/10): I neglected to clarify that my friend’s daughter was adopted, thus the for breast milk. My bf and I were driving home after the baby shower and suggested that we offer them some of my milk since our freezer was overflowing. With such a demanding work schedule I was only able to supplement their daughter for about 5 months, but I have continued breast feeding my ten month old and plan to continue as long as possible. I even shipped milk home when I was out of town on business for a week. It is the greatest gift a mother can give -I have the utmost respect for anyone who donates milk & wet nurse services, especially for those who cannot breast feed their own child.

What an incredible story!!

A friend asked me to pump for her baby when she lost her supply after returning to work, but I was not able to produce enough pumping to make it work (cross-country, at that).

This is such an amazing gift to have given all those babies…
