Donating or Requesting Human Milk
The Eats on Feets network operates on Facebook, with a local chapter for many areas. If you do not have Facebook access, please email us and we will gladly assist you. We recommend getting a Facebook account if you have an ongoing need or donation, as it is faster and more effective.
Eats on Feets does not screen donors and recipients, nor do we match anyone. Our network is used for milksharing without third-party involvement. We can only accept requests from those who are legally or medically responsible for the baby in need and offers from the donors themselves.
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.
If there is no Eats on Feets Chapter in your area, please message the Eats on Feets Home Page and our admins will be able to assist you.
Posting Offers & Requests 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.
