“At 2 weeks post-partum after having Jayden, I had over 250 ounces of breast milk frozen. I was producing 70 plus ounces a day and steadily increasing every day. It was then that I decided I needed to help other babies. I started looking into donating.
I went to our local NICU, called multiple milk banks, and reached out to many lactation consultants. I finally got a message from the Mother’s Milk Bank of Montana. I completed the interview and blood draw process and made my first donation. It was exhilarating and horrifying at the same time. I worried if my supply was to tank, would I have enough to keep feeding Jayden? Then I realized that the amazing feeling of giving outweighed the fear of not producing enough. This was an unwarranted fear.
I was donating every other week, and sometimes multiple times a week. Then an amazing friend introduced a momma that was struggling. We met and then I began donating to her. Then I started reaching out to other mommas. The feeling of helping other mothers was phenomenal.
