I don't really think you can. If you have that much in the freezer it is great, it lasts for three months. I know it is a waste, but I think you might just have to throw it away, sorry xxx

maybe you could ring the NHS and ask if there is anywhere near you that would accept it, you have to have tests and stuff to donate it to make sure you are suitable and have no infections/diseases,and im pretty sure they will only take what you express there and then for them,as milk from home could be contaminated. keep trying hun as breastmilk banks can be invaluable for premature/intensive babies x x x

some hospitals do accept donated breast milk but not all so guess ring around xx

does anyone know of any hospitals that do accept breast milk donations? My email is harris1983@gmail.com

thanks all

if u got a stock load in ur freezer and dont want to waste it use them for ur child. u can get bottles that mimick the breast (tommee tippee)

Yes you can I have been considering this too I found this site today
http://www.ukamb.org/home.htm it gives you addresses of milk banks that might be able to collect it, it says you need to have a blood test first though and you have to be a non-smoker xxxx

Hi I donate milk to my local hospital, you have to have blood tests like you do when pregnant and are screened before you can donate. I express and freeze the milk, they come and collect it when I need some space in my freezer!!

would just like to comment_i think this is a great thing to do,i only ever had enough for my son.

i looked into this when i was pregnant the first time but i didnt have a great deal spare most of the time but i saw some of the premature babies that it helped and it was heart breaking to see them but amazing to hear how something as simple as that improved their chances substantially
