Breastmilk donation

Rebecca

Anyone able to donate breastmilk? I was planning on it, based on the website I qualified to donate, but while doing the phone screening they end up revealing a whole bunch of things that they do not list on the website. For example, the website says "you qualify if you do not take any medications regularly". I do not, I take Benadryl on occasion- well low and behold you cannot donate any pumped milk within 72 hours of taking a Benadryl... had I known that I easily could have marked the bags so I would know what ones could be donated. Or- you qualify to donate if you do not have more than two alcoholic drinks a day- perfect, I never have more than two. Well, on the phone they said they cannot take any milk pumped within 12 hours of me consuming alcohol... once again, had I known that I would have marked the dang bags so I would know what ones I could donate! Why wouldn't they put that on the website? Sorry, just frustrated that I have a bunch of milk in the freezer that is going to go to waste!
