Donating Breastmilk
Breastfeeding can be a hardcore subject. If you nurse your baby, for how long? If you don’t, why not? If you do breastfeed, are you allowed to do it in public?
But one thing that most breastfeeders don’t think of is this: Would you donate your breastmilk?
Breastmilk donation came in my mind again when I wrote the blog about Salma Hayek breastfeeding an infant in Sierra Leone while on a vaccination (tetanus) campaign. And when I read about Nadya Suleman breastfeeding her octuplets, I wondered: If we’re not naturally meant to give birth to this many babies, will she be able to keep her supply up? Or will she have to turn to milk donations?
