Requests for donor milk must be made by the parent, the court-appointed legal guardian/caretaker, or by someone who is licensed to provide medical care for the baby. Otherwise, in order to request milk for someone else please message the page for accommodation.

On Facebook:

• Before posting, please read the 4 Pillars for specifics about screening donors or recipients and the safe handling of donated breastmilk.
• Go to your local Eats on Feets Facebook Chapter and follow it for safe milksharing information.
• The Community Group is featured at the top of the Page.
• Please read the rules for participating upon joining.
• Check the posts for current offers and requests. Respond to the posts that suit your situation and let the poster know in the comments that you sent them a private message so they know to look for it.
• Please practice safe social networking: Do not engage if something does not feel right; do not share private information in the group, and do not send people any money for milk, gas, parts, shipping, etc.
• If you do not find a match that is suitable to you, post your offer or request. Please include some background information regarding your general location, whether this is an ongoing or temporary request/donation, the age of your child, any special diet considerations, the best way to contact you, etc.
• If you do not see your post in the group, please make sure you followed the rules or it may have been declined or removed.
• Regularly check for comments on your post. Facebook notifications can be delayed or unreliable. It is up to donors and recipients to connect with each other, check their post, and follow up with potential leads.
• If you have not received a response to your post, please feel free to post again. Please feel free to also post in a neighboring Community Group.
• Please send a message to your local Page if you need further assistance.

Our Community Groups are public though posts can be made anonymously. We believe that there is safety in transparency and we believe that screening and approving members gives a false sense of security to our members.

Please also post on chapters of neighboring states or message the Eats on Feets Home page if there is no chapter in your area.

It is up to the donor and recipient to connect with each other, check in on posts, and follow up with each other.

Not on Facebook

• Please email us with your request and appropriate background information, including a contact to share. The request will be posted on the relevant Facebook Chapter and donors will make private contact.

For frequent requests, a Facebook account is suggested as it allows for a more effective way for families to connect.
