Milk, Milk and More Milk

When I gave birth to my daughter in 2008 I knew that I wanted to try breastfeeding. It was a rocky start in the beginning, but once we got the hang of it we were very successful. I began pumping during the first week to build my supply and boy did it ever! It wasn’t long until my fridge and freezer was full of milk–more milk than my daughter could drink. I began researching Human Milk Banking because I didn’t want all that milk to go to waste and I wanted to make a difference. My daughter and I were very lucky to have so much milk and to have the experience we had. Over the next few months I donated over 1300 ounces of milk to the milk bank in NC. I am expecting our second child in March and look forward to milk banking once again. It really is liquid gold!
