What a wonderful gift! Preemies tend to be put right onto bottles with formula. The best thing for them would be breastmilk because of their delicate little systems...

Oh I'm wrong there are a lot more then the last time I tried this with my son. I think I will have to see if it's something I can fit in timewise. Thank you for reminding me!

I think that's wonderful. Last I heard there are only something like 4 actual breast milk banks in the country though. I definitely produce enough milk that if it were something I could handle time wise I would. I feel bad if I have to throw milk away.
