The project has collected more than 1,500 ounces of milk at 13 drop locations in just six days, according to Simmons.
Besides breastmilk, the project’s organizers are also asking for milk bags to give to donors, gas cards for transporters, ice packs for transport coolers and coolers for the runners picking up the donated breastmilk at drop-off locations. More drop-off locations and donors are also needed.

I donated with each of my three. It’s a good cause.
My Father’s first cousin was born then his mother died. He could not keep cow milk down, not even buttermilk. This was way back in the country and I doubt they had ever heard of formula even if it existed.
My Great Aunt was Florida’s first registered nurse. She tried goats milk and it worked. She never married but raised him as her own. His Father lived nearby.
Jennings joined the Marines in WWII and he still lives right near where he was born. HE is getting up in age now. If not for Aunt Ruth he would never have made it.

Doe milk naturally has small, well-emulsified fat globules, which means the cream remains suspended in the milk, instead of rising to the top, as in raw cow milk; therefore, it does not need to be homogenized. Indeed, if the milk is going to be used to make cheese it is recommended that it not be homogenized as this changes the structure of the milk impacting the culture’s ability to coagulate the milk and the final quality and yield of cheese.[33] Dairy goats in their prime, which is generally around the third or fourth lactation cycle, average 6 to 8 pounds (2.7 to 3.6 kg) of milk production daily (roughly 3 to 4 US quarts (2.7 to 3.6 liters)) during a ten-month lactation, producing more just after freshening and gradually dropping in production toward the end of their lactation. The milk generally averages 3.5 percent butterfat. A doe may be expected to reach her heaviest production during her third or fourth lactation.[34] Doe milk is commonly processed into cheese, butter, ice cream, yogurt, cajeta and other products. Goat cheese is known as chèvre in France, after the French word for “goat”. Some varieties include Rocamadour and Montrachet.[35] Goat butter is white because goats produce milk with the yellow beta-carotene converted to a colorless form of vitamin A.,
When our son was about two we fed him raw goats milk. He weened himself at 17 months. He has a love for any kind of food you give him.
Not anything new, just a different way of providing for babies in need.
The use of wet nurses has been around for a very long time but mostly used by wealthy families where the mother had very little contact with their children.
That was my first thought too. Let’s hope we’re wrong.
I'll need to see photographic evidence of that. Uh...for...um...strictly scientific purposes.
that’s almost 12 gallons of milk.
Nope. Two hands and a mouth will be just fine, thank you.
Are you a three breasted lactating man?
Actually Alejandro Von Humboldt in visiting Peru in 1798 saw a man who breast fed his daughter, the mother died in child birth and the father was able to provide milk for his infant daughter. Men do have mammary glands.
Lol! Got to love FReep humor! I was blessed to produce enough for each of my three BABIES, plus another baby through the donation site.
