It can happen that donated milk cannot or will not be used. Sometimes a baby does not like the taste for example.
ביטא חלב אם, especially milk that has been frozen, can develop a taste or smell that some babies do not like. Some of this can be caused by excess lipase but there are other reasons for this to occur.1
It also happens that a recipient ends up with more donor milk than they need. If donated milk will not be used, the milk can be returned to the original donor. אם זה לא אפשרי, the original donor can post their offer again and the first recipient then becomes the pick-up location for the new recipient.
It is important that bags be labeled properly with name, תאריך, and contact information.
Eats on Feets does not accept third-party offers. A donor needs to offer their own milk. Someone who is not on Facebook can שלח לנו דוא"ל or contact us via Messenger and we can make a post for them on their local Chapter with an email or phone number. Families in need can then contact them directly. Please know that our Chapters are public.
נא לראותטיפול חלב for proper handling information.
