Alicia Silverstone has launched a new initiative that asks moms to donate their breast milks for those who cannot breast feed. The effort is called “Kind Mama Milk Share.”
The Clueless actress, 36, mom to 2-year-old son Bear, asked moms on her blog to donate breast milk for those in need, writing “If you have milk to share — post it! If you are in need of milk — post it! Think of all the babies we can help raise together!”
Silverstone shared a story about a friend who was unable to produce enough breast milk for her baby because of a breast reduction surgery. “She tried reaching out in her community for donor milk, but it was almost impossible to figure out what kind of lifestyle choices the donors had made,” she explained, NY Daily News reports.
There were many positive comments to her post, with many moms thanking Silverstone and others offering up extra milk they had saved up in their freezer. Others had adopted their babies and wanted natural breast milk instead of formula.
