I found this today, and I am so excited. I wonder if it will work for us. I've been pumping since Ezekiel was born, and for a while I was getting a lot of milk and storing it up in the freezer. Now I only make a few ounces a day (today was 3) AND our freezer-stash is almost completely gone. I've been so sooo sad about this, but what can I do? I've tried EVERYTHING to get my milk supply up, to little avail (so far). We've only got maybe a weeks worth of milk left in the freezer. If you want to buy it from a milk bank, it is a WHOPPING $3.50 PER OUNCE!! Incredulous!! Who can afford that??! Not us. So I am fairly hopeful about this new milk exchange thing. Of course, you have to be careful, but I think the website does a good job explaining about making sure you get good milk. The next time I have a baby I would love to be able to donate milk for someone else- what a blessing!
