Simply providing breastmilk to a recipient in need is a wonderful way of supporting the breastfeeding relationship.

While donors may possibly have more experience and education in breastfeeding than anyone else in the recipient’s life, it is a personal decision whether broaching the subject of breastfeeding issues would be appropriate or not. Please keep in mind that the recipient may be in an emotionally delicate place.¹

Please see local resources for possible suggestions for referrals.
