I do wish people wouldn't comment on things they don't understand! This mother has done the best she can after being set adrift by irresponsible medical professionals who could have set her up with milk bank donated milk if they had done their jobs properly. Yes, diseases can be in milk, yes women donating may not be aware they are carrying a disease but diseases, even HIV, are destroyed by preheating donated milk, some of the good stuff is also destroyed but it is still a million times better for a sick child with a digestive problem! I would be very wary of giving formula to a sick or allergic child, this baby has much more serious medical problems than just a milk protein allergy! WHO recommend mother's own milk from the breast, if not mother's own expressed milk, if not another mother's expressed milk and only then formula and that is just for a healthy baby!!! I can't help feeling that really people are just against it because they feel breastmilk and breastfeeding is a bit "icky" even if they might do it for the good of their child, which I think is weird.Reductio Ad...https://www.blogger.com/profile/00589924468084448056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885164856503584282.post-31569028893219280042012-03-27T09:23:56.265-07:002012-03-27T09:23:56.265-07:00For all the people questioning why she would accep...For all the people questioning why she would accept breastmilk from other mommas, don't judge, you are NOT in her shoes and your children are healthy, so who is to say what you ould do if you were ACTUALLY in her shoes...you can say all day long that you would not accept someone else's breastmilk but you are NOT in her shoes so your decision could change if that was ALL that helped your child! I commend her for taking a stand against irresponsible doctors and taking a stand for her son! I have four children and was blessed enough to be able to EBF all four, including a set of twins, BUT if there was ever a need for any of my children to have nothing but breast milk cause we had tried formula and it was killing my child....you better believe I would ask for help from other mommas!!! Also, saliva and other body fluids can carry diseases too...are you saying she was not responsible enough as a parent to make sure the breastmilk was clean before she gave it to her son....SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE, and God bless those who did help and continue to help mommas with your breastmilk or in any other way!~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885164856503584282.post-49340097892079115102012-03-21T18:49:04.175-07:002012-03-21T18:49:04.175-07:00Im so sorry and would love to help.

I too have 2 children with with severe allergies and both had to be on Hypoallergenic formulas, Neocate saved my daughter's life! She was so ill from MSPI (milk/soy protien intolerance) that she was pooping blood by the time we got her on the right formula.

He was there for 2 1/2 months, and I want to let you know they took great care of him. He was monitored at all times, and went home around his due date just over 5lbs. <br />I don't understand why the other hospital would not care for your son how they do at OHSU, and to discharge you....But now that he is being cared for at OHSU, he is in great hands :)<br />I pray for him and your family...<br />~Savannah~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885164856503584282.post-44308937692139058562012-03-12T13:09:43.705-07:002012-03-12T13:09:43.705-07:00I am so glad I was able to donate to baby Anthony ...I am so glad I was able to donate to baby Anthony and it was very responsible for you to step up and ask for milk, you are such an amazing mother.

And although another mother's intentions are good, she may not know that she is carrying a disease. $8 is very expensive. Have you tried contacting a pediatrician outside of your area? You may have better luck finding food that his tummy agrees with through suggestions of a pediatrician located in a more populus area, after all, they have seen more patients :) good luck to you and your family, you're in my thoughts...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885164856503584282.post-82468713462227970172012-01-21T19:57:02.138-08:002012-01-21T19:57:02.138-08:00Hello, I hope this post is not too late for you an...Hello, I hope this post is not too late for you and your little boy.

I started her on it at 4 months with no issues at all.<br /><br />Goats milk is the the closest thing to human milk in nature and is well tolerated my most infants.<br /><br />You might want to try it for Anthony and see how he does. Make sure to get milk that is hand milked as 90% of bacteria in raw milk come from the milking machine.<br /><br />Good luck and my prayers are with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
