A new facebook page has started up to link people in the UK with breastmilk to spare with those that need it.
http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Eats-on-Feets-UK/162578833765065
Please know that this is a worldwide effort!!! Many many groups are popping up all over the world.
From the original Eats On Feets creator:
“I started this page after receiving a phone call from a mom who was desperate to find breast-milk for her newborn. I posted her needs on facebook and the response was immediate and fantastic. I thought it would be awesome if there were a page dedicated to milk sharing and tribe nursing.
So, this is a networking page for moms to share and receive milk when needed. I am not responsible for milk sharing results or content shared by other posters.
And a note of caution; KNOW THY SOURCE. While it is true that tribe feeding offers MANY benefits, there is ALWAYS the risk of disease/contamination.
I support many causes and movements but in the spirit of keeping the site as focused as possible status updates are specific to milk sharing.”

The tag is @eatsonfeetsuk and this is the link http://twitter.com/#!/EatsOnFeetsUK
email: eatsonfeetsUK@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks for the mention!

Hi there!! I’m so glad to have found your org. I have donated to the NW milk bank twice before and I was saddened to learn the milk its not making its way to premmies due to funding issues.
I have recently moved to north east Scotland and I have found there is no milk bank in Grampian. This leaves me in a bit of a pickle as I’m expecting again in November and as with my other three pregnancies in expecting over supply of milk.
I wonder when the time comes if I could donate my milk through you? Would that be possible?
I could ask an independent lab to test my blood again as per milk bank guidelines (if not exceedenly expensive) and follow them through as I have done before for more peace of mind.
Could you please let me know?
Many thanks.
