We chose to use formula with our first, and shortly after he was born, the 2022 formula shortage started. I will never forget driving from store to store to store, trying to find the sensitive formula he needed, and striking out over and over. With our second, I decided to try breastfeeding, and ended up really loving it! I had an oversupply for the first few months, and was so happy to be able to use that to give to other moms so they didn’t have to worry the way I had.

I am so thankful for MMBAL for making the process so simple, and for helping provide for NICU babies throughout the state!

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11 and to honor the courage of the first responders and heroes who answered the call. Patriot Day is a day of reflection and a reminder of the strength and resilience that can emerge from hardship.

I’ve had the great honor of donating breast milk to Mothers’ Milk Bank of Alabama (MMBAL) with each of my three children. I first began in 2020 after the birth of my daughter. As a new mom, I vividly remember the struggles and learning curves of breastfeeding. Once I finally reached a point where I had extra milk stored, I searched for ways to share with babies in need — and that’s when MMBAL entered our lives.

Through MMBAL, mothers like me can provide life-giving nutrition to fragile babies throughout the state. This donor milk not only delivers essential nutrients and supports easier digestion, but it also brings peace of mind to families navigating those first challenging days. Donating breast milk is a beautiful reminder of how mothers can lift one another up. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to play a small part in caring for Alabama’s most vulnerable population. 💜
