I have wondered for a long time *not a debate*

[boomba]

You didn't make a bad choice PB you just did what you thought was right and by golly you did a sterling job being able to give him EBM for as long as you did

My thoughts exactly

MR wonderful post as always !

[~Lashes~]

this is solely my opinion, i think having a supply for premmie babies is great, if you are able to express and donate to the cause, thats awsome, great job!!
personaly i dont think i would be comfortable with feeding my baby someone elses expressed milk, in having said that, some of you have mentioned donated blood, yes i have had a blood transfusion befor, no i was not comfortable with reciving someone elses blood, mainly as i didnt think i needed it, but thats another story!
yes i am dissapointed i was unable to feed my ds1 and dd for longer then 3-4 months, and realy upset i was only able to feed ds2 for 6 weeks (again, aother story)
i have never been able to express. but will be doing my hardest to try feed next bub as long as possible, with a bit of luck it will happen, i just have to remember to feed myself properly in order to do it!
i was formula fed from my first feed, my mum isnt very ant bf she wasnt arround for my boys, but with my daughter she was constantly, "just get a tin as a just in case"

also, yes i drink cows milk, i also eat cows to!!
