[quote=Anonymous]OP. Our family was able to pick up BM from a wonderful mom today in NoVA (who also offered suggestions about another specialist we should try to see) and I have requested a friend to pick up from another mom in DC tomorrow and Tuesday. That should help us for 10 days. A couple of moms have kindly offered to contact some friends/colleagues to see if they have surplus.

The other 2 who generously offered are in DC/MD and I don't have the resources to collect that milk.  PP who posted here to offer your BM to my LO (and you have a 7 month old!!) I would never take that - would make me feel  selfish. Preemies and other babies with a higher medical need deserve it better.

I am only looking for BM that moms are going to donate or throw away anyway. My DH thinks I have grown another head as he doesn't think BM now is all that it's made out to be but I beg to differ having seen my LO do so much better on it and actually get in the 7-8%. DH is now pushing for the invasive tests and the tube that we have delayed this long as a joint decision. Had it not been for the therapist who is very hopeful of ramping up the solids in the next few weeks (she thinks LO also has PTSD due to reflux :( Reflux is truly one of the worst ailments a child can have because it has such negative cascading effects in so many areas.

PP/PPs, I have weighed the benefits and risk, believe me and I am well aware of the article/comments you posted to warn me - appreciate it but you have no idea of our unique situation. I have donated to a preemie when I was pumping and had enough to spare at the time and I have no regrets and the family who received it really benefited.

All the other PPs thank you for your support. I truly appreciate it. [/quote]
