Breastmilk Donation

MilkShare was formed in 2004 by Kelley Faulkner, a mom who is unable to produce enough breastmilk due to a congenital breast abnormality. Knowing the significant benefits that only breastmilk can offer, she sought to provide the best possible nutrition for her children using donated breast milk. Thanks to more than 30 generous and loving nursing mothers, she has received tons of donated breastmilk for her children. Her second son has been exclusively fed with donor milk and will continue to be through his first 2 years of life. Read our story.

Kelley's passion for empowering families, includes educating families about the many benefits and the various options and considerations for sharing human breastmilk for the benefit of babies that might otherwise go without. She believes that breastfeeding is important for all infants and is dedicated to community awareness about the benefits of breast milk, options beyond milk banks, and the value of milk donation. Her vision is to improve the quality of human life through increased breastfeeding across the world...even when Mother Nature is seemingly uncooperative.

Kelley was first inspired by Jennifer Connel, a Massachusetts mom who sought to solely breastfeed her children after a double mastectomy. Jenn has successfully provided breastmilk for her two sons through their first year of life and beyond. Read her story here.
