You might try contacting MilkWorks here in Lincoln.

They ar a breastfeeding center exclusively. They were a God send after Noah was born. I know some moms who have donated milk and Milkworks could help you with this, I'm sure.

I'll paste their info below.

Hello,

First, update. Declan still in NICU, but no longer sick or on oxygen. He
has pretty extreme case of acid reflux, and though eating just fine,
after consuming only 20 to 30 ml's in a feeding, is done because reflux
causing pain. So doctors trying a few things, hoping it resolves. Other
than this, doing very well.

So, is there a device that can be used to measure liquid in a bottle? I
suppose a talking kitchen scale would work. Just need something to help
measure Declan's bottle consumption during feedings, so when at home, we
will know how much he eats when not finishing a bottle.

Also, anyone familiar with breast milk donation? I have not been able to
produce milk even though working closely with lactation nurses and
doctors. Know (should specific for JAWS users, I mean K N O W, smile)
milk banks exist, but curious if anyone has experience with this.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter
