Ivana - maybe sell a kit that someone can use to make their own soap - if that makes sense?
Back to a point made a page or 2 ago - why some people think its OK to donate but not accept.
Well - I had oversupply with Jenna, and it was never ever a consideration that I would have to use another's milk. It just hasn't crossed my mind, and its hard to comprehend for me. So while I know I have heaps to donate to a very worhty cause, I haven't felt the need to take from it - Does that make sense?
And as for using it - if I had a preterm baby, and I was trying to establish feeding - I would take from the bank because it would be supplementing my efforts to get things going.
But if I had a term baby, and it wasn't working out - well long term I wouldn't be breastfeeding anyway, so it would seem silly to start taking from a source that is required for more needy people.
I hope that makes sense? There is a small ick factor for me - but no different to a blood transfusion. i would truly, truly hate to get a transfusion, it would be one of the worst things for me to contemplate (along with losing teeth), but I donate whenever I can.
Throughout jenna's first 6 months when I was exclusively breastfeeding, I would rather have had a wetnurse or a donation than give her formula. But that was just me.
