Donor Stories
"My name is Eleanor and I am a proud mother to an adventurous, energetic, and sweet Little Mister named Adam. One of the biggest obstacles I face is doubting myself because I am a first time mother. I try to overcome this by reminding myself that as long as my child is fed and deeply loved, I know I am doing a great job!
Many of my greatest accomplishments began after giving birth to Adam, including being able to donate over 2,000 oz. of additional breast milk to several organizations and continuing to exclusively breastfeed Adam at almost 15 months old.
As a registered dietitian, it was especially important to me to be able to breastfeed and share my excess breast milk to help nourish those in need because I understand and appreciate the impact it has on health.
My advice to moms beginning the donor journey is to remember that not every baby gets the precious opportunity of breast milk. Every ounce you provide helps their immune systems and is monumental in their growth and development!"
