My daughter is 11 weeks and is bottlefed EBM. On the rare occasions we've had to supplement, she's never agreed with formula. Enfamil made projectile vomit. So we tried Similac for gas & fussiness. The powder stuff just made her fussy, and the liquid stuff made her spit up a LOT ( Read more... )

Has anyone here donated milk? How did it go? Where did you donate? What about selling milk?
I ask because I am pumping 60-80 oz a day and my son drinks around 45 oz a day. My freezer is full!
