[blparent] Searching for accessible, good quality, measuring device

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

If you are comfortable doing this, go on to Facebook and look for moms that donate milk. It is unvalidated meaning that nobody checks to make sure these moms are healthy or that they store the milk properly.
The idea is that these moms have an oversuply and wouldn't give milk to their own babies that was bad.

I think the program is called Eats on Feets.

I haven't heard of anything bad happening to a baby using milk via this source.  If you trust the moms giving the milk, and you want to go this route it's there.

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
