I am a proud mother of an 11 year old daughter. Right after having my daughter my dream was to breastfeed her to have the closeness and bonding that breastfeeding offers not only to the mother but the child as well. After about 4 weeks of breastfeeding my daughter, she wasn’t gaining weight like she should have been. It was later determined that she had a problem with her bite which made it difficult, nearly impossible to latch. I was determined though to give her the best food in the world though. So, sadly I went to formula feeding my daughter. Why? Because I didn’t find out until 2 months later that I could feed her breast milk from the bottle. So, I went back to pumping to at least try to mix in my own milk to make it better for her in the long run. She didn’t take to the milk and by that time was hooked on formula. It was heartbreaking to watch her reject me (or at least it felt like rejection).
I had a good two gallons of milk stored in the fridge and freezer of my apartment. I didn’t want to pour it down the drain. So, I learned about donating breast milk to banks for mothers who wanted to give it to their
