After two months she hadn't received a single genuine request from parents in need 😱
Shortly after giving birth to Lynnlee, Michele realised she was producing more breast milk than required.Initially, she had planned to nurse Lynnlee for six months, but when she reached that milestone, she decided to keep going.
She added: ‘I had planned on weaning after six months, like a lot of other mothers. But after doing some research about the role breast milk can play – particularly in helping babies fight off infection – I decided I wanted to carry on. ‘I was going back to work around the same time and would have been exposed to all kinds of germs and bugs. I wanted to do whatever I could to protect Lynnlee.Michele breastfed her daughter for six months and still kept producing milk so wanted to donate
But, even with her newfound determination to breastfeed Lynnlee indefinitely, Michele was producing so much milk that it was clear she was not going to get through it all. Expressing, on average, seven surplus litres per month, by November last year, her freezer was full to the brim.According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, freshly expressed milk must only be stored for 12 months, so Michele began to fret it would go to waste.Excited at the prospect of being able to donate her milk, Michele immediately looked into it – only to discover that her nearest bank was 120 miles away in neighbouring Texas.
