1,200 ounces and counting! ❤️

"I’m a proud surrogate of a baby girl for a wonderful family out of state, and I’m also a special care nursery nurse. My surrogate baby received my milk for a couple of months, and everything I’ve pumped since is going to to nourish our tiniest humans.

I became a surrogate to help a deserving family fill their hearts and home, and it healed a piece of my own heart too. Now I get to be part of the milk bank loop, caring for babies at the bedside and giving to the supply that feeds them. Every ounce makes a difference." 💛 - Donor Mom Thank you for sharing such a generous gift to local babies!

👻 The scariest thing in this house? A freezer full of milk is headed for the trash.

Imagine this: a pumping mom opens her freezer to find months of hard work neatly packed in little bags. Then she tosses every last one, not knowing that extra milk can be donated. 😢

That’s the real horror story. 🕸️

Here’s the plot twist: your extra milk can be liquid gold for tiny babies in the NICU who need it most. 🍼 One mom’s surplus can nourish fragile little ones and help save lives.

Don’t let a full freezer turn into a scary story! 🧊

✨ Have extra milk? Don’t toss it. Donate it.
✨ Know a pumping mom? Share this post. She might not know either.
