I am wriitng on health matters for the web and my website. I am also following and support The World Health Organization on Global issues. August 01-07 is World Breastfeeding Week.

One of the benefits of breastfeeding is financial. You save money that you would otherwise spend on formula.

I am wondering if you have a idea or figure on what you would save or gain, either pumping for self or to donate.

That is such a brilliant idea! You cannot help but succeed with your own milk on your side!

OOhhh… a smoothie sounds good! It gives you a good excuse to buy a vita-mix blender Oh wait, maybe I am projecting onto you. But seriously, with a little pineapple juice, banana…

Well done on continuing to pump, it’s not easy. But this way it’s going to good use, it’s heartbreaking having to throw breastmilk away, liquid gold is its well earned nickname and not just due to the insane prices it sells for! I second the chilling idea and the smoothie! I know you don’t want to hear how brave I think you are, so I won’t say it. Instead I’ll say “good luck with the house move”, I’m going slowly mad packing our house up here

You are freaking SUPER WOMAN! Honestly, the only thing that scared me about this when you told me about it was the fact that the chemo drug might hurt the lining of your stomach, but if the doctors say it won’t, keep it up! It can’t hurt, right?

I would totally chill it first, though… or make a smoothie with it like that guy does!

How smart of you! I wish I had thought of that! Of course, I do not know if I could have continued pumping. It was too sad for me. But you, you’ve found a positive way to continue lactating! (And maybe help your own self at the same time.) You rock!
