I'm a helper but I have my limits!
A nice sister from church email me to see if I would donate any of my breast milk which is a little bit on the weird side if you ask me. I haven't even pumped one time with this baby, with Landon I literally had a full freezer of breast milk. So, should I whip out my pump and give her some of my milk or just tell her no! The whole situation is so awkward.

Honestly I say get the pump out. It will be weird for a total of ten seconds then you will feel totally awesome! Women have done this since the dawn of time and still do it today. There are milk banks all over the US. Plus imagine how badly this baby needs the nutrition, in our ward with all those unimmunized kids...your halp is needed. Now if she were asking you to actually breastfeed the baby...well yeah that would be weird. ooo and you know you will burn more calories that way...just saying....its win win.
i think it's kind of weird, but I guess it depends on the situation. I can think of a few where I would be on board for sharing...but make sure you're producing enough for leilani first.
I told her no but she's still looking to find someone who might be willing to donate their breastmilk.
There's no right answer, don't worry. I would just do whatever feels right for you - that's what's most important.
That's certainly a difficult one, but I agree with the above comment, do what you're comfortable with, not what you feel you should do!
Yes I see what you mean, there's something oddly intrusive and private about it.
Blimey, I've heard of 'share and share alike' but I think that's going a bit far!
