National Milk Bank
I have contacted the people at the National Milk Bank about possibly being a donor. They will be contacting my dr and Marie's pediatrician to get their approval, then I'll have to give them some blood and DNA to make sure I don't have any infectious diseases and they can tag my milk as mine, and then I may start pumping and donating. They will be donating a portion of the milk collected to the International Breastmilk Project which sends breastmilk to orphans in Africa and the rest of it will be used for research and babies in the US. I am excited to start doing this! I won't be paid and this milk bank is a for profit venture, but I am still happy to donate. If you are pregnant or nursing and interested in this, please feel free to ask me any questions and I'll tell you what I know (which isn't much at this point!).

Great idea...but, then again...you do have an abundence of milk and it appears to be rich...certainly not thin, watery, blue stuff of some people I've known. They'll be tickled to have milk to research from the only person to be a perfect blend of the Jersey and Holstein of cows....the Jersey giving the richest while the Holstein gives out the most! LOL yeah...only a mother would tweak her daughter like this!! LOL
