Has / Does anyone donate their milk to Mothers Milk Bank?

Has anyone ever donated before? is there anything i should know?

Thanks

I wanted to but I have had so much on my plate... do they have one up and going in Melbourne yet? I know one was opening at the Mercy, I don't think it is open yet though.

I am feeding my two girls and I have a deep freezer full, I am quickly running out of space!

Well done, it is such a wonderful thing you are doing, both of my girls have spent time in NICU so I know just how important this is to these little babies.

Not sure about melbourne?

I can ask them about it when they come and give me my pack, if i pass the tests lol

Im very excited that im going to be giving this gift to people/babies

Can someone tell me what this is about? Sounds like something I would be interested in...

Heres their website :) Become A Donor Mothers Milk Bank

Im just waiting to hear back about blood test forms etc

very excited......... can you tell lol

What an amazing gift. I will definitely be doing this when I have baby number 2! Are they on the Gold Coast, I saw something about he Gold Coast but not sure if they have collection services in this area?

Can't believe there is something like this out there. What a special gift to be able to give mothers. Wish I had know about this with DS as there would have been a use for the frozen milk in the freezer!

They are based in tweed and do up to brisbane. I live in ipswich now but at the coast at least once a week seeing mum etc so not sure how they want to do delivery etc.

such a small thing on my side thats such a loved/needed and big gift at the other end.

Yup, I've been donating for a few months now :D

They do an excellent job - just a pity they don't get govt funding :wall:
