Got milk???

As many of you know, our little niece Gracie was born with the same heart condition as our sweet Ryker (HLHS). Gracie has been home for nearly two months, and just really is doing pretty well. We have a bit of a problem: she needs breast milk. Many of you Moms know that with a lot of stress, there can be a loss of milk. This has happened and Gracie does not do well at all with formula. She has a hard time swallowing the milk and they are trying so hard to switch her feeds to oral feeds. Many of you may also know the added benefit for heart babies and the immunities that breast milk offers. So although it may be weird to you, it is critical for Gracie to have breast milk. They are trying to get a prescription for it and get milk from a milk bank but it takes time and really costs quite a bit of money. So please help if you can!!!!
