After a Missouri mom was unable to breastfeed her son, she decided to donate the 1,040 ounces of breast milk she had stockpiled to families affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Danielle Palmer’s third son, Truett, was born with a congenial heart defect and had to get his nutrients from an IV at the start of his life.
“The first month of life, he was unable to eat,” Palmer, 31, told Today. “All the milk I was pumping was going into the freezer.”
She continued pumping and freezing her milk through Truett’s eight surgeries, and ended up with over 1,000 ounces, which she estimates will be about 346 feedings.
