Creating Ripples with our Nipples since 2010

The Resource for the Informed Sharing of Human Milk is more than a guide for safe community-based and private arrangement milksharing. Above all, when gathering information and research to support the safe sharing of human milk, we realized that we could not simply present a standard of milksharing nor make straight statements about safe milksharing. We also needed to provide information as to why something is considered the standard, какво означава, че нещо, и what the alternatives to that standard could be.

The first result of our research is this document, now a website: The Resource for the Informed Sharing of Human Milk. This resource offers information beyond the scope of what parents and caretakers may want or need to know about safe milksharing but nonetheless, ние смятаме, че информацията може да бъде важно за вземане на информиран избор.

The second result of our work is The 4 Стълбове на сейфа Кърма Споделяне. These four pillars are simple to implement, evidence-based steps. They form the foundation to practice or support the practice of safe community-based and private arrangement milksharing.

It is our hope that these documents help to нормализирам milksharing and мокро кърмене as safe and viable infant feeding options, creating equitable access to donor milk for all families and their babies.

Our groups are diverse. Our members are cis, straight, gay or lesbian, trans, and non-binary. Not all families have a mama. Indeed, we have lactating members, т.е. донори, who do not identify as mama. Eats on Feets offers our spaces to everyone who has milk to offer or needs milk for their baby. It is an option! Don't waste an hour not offering your extra milk! Post your offer or request in your local community group. That's right! Trick or share breastmilk! Newborns and babies can easily drink from a cup. In a power outage or other emergency, cups are easy to clean with soap and water and if clean or boiled water is not available using disposable cups is a viable option. While preparing for a storm consider obtaining block ice or dry ice if available to help protect your milk if the power goes out. Have questions about the milksharing process? Here's a basic overview! Check out www.eatsonfeetsresources.org if you want to learn more. #MilkSharingMonday #eatsonfeets #milksharing #breastmilkdonation Say no to pumping and dumping.
