If a mom was interested in obtaining donor milk, how easy is it and what is
the process? I recently spoke to a mom who asked about relactating after 4
weeks of stopping breastfeeding. Her baby at 2 months was hospitalized with
RSV and she also had bronchitis. She experienced a reduction in her supply
so her baby got formula which didn't agree with him. They of course tried
every different kind and now the baby has reflux and is miserable . Mom
wanted to try to relactate because he did so well on breast milk which is no
surprise. When I asked if she would consider donor milk, she said she
hadn't even given that a thought. I even asked if any close friends or
family were breastfeeding and had extra. But I wondered how difficult it
was to get donor milk from a milk bank for someone like her.
