Jennifer, My almost 3 year old daughter, Hagan has been receiving donor breastmilk in her G-tube since she was 8 months old. Producing enough of my own was nearly impossible on me emotionally at that time (Domperidone, frequent pumping, herbs couldn't catch me up...I was so stressed). donor milk saved my sanity and my daughter has been rarely ill despite her compromised genetic make up. I highly recommend this mother look into it. Now the tricky part. I called my insurance to see if they would cover it. Our pediatrician wrote a Rx so it was medically deemed necessary. insurance said no way! They told me they would totally cover for a special formula that was more expensive but not breastmilk. I was fuming. I have been fortunate enough to have a loving family who pays the huge milk bills (the banks make no profit but still expensive ). I have thought about fighting the insurance over this ridiculous practice but, with 4 little kids I am so busy. Let me know how you and this mother proceed. I do hope she can get some breastmilk to this sweet baby. Maybe this will motivate me to get after insurance on this on.
