Amazing mum donates more than her BODY WEIGHT in breast milk

 

A mum has made the most beautiful gesture, donating more than her body weight in breast milk after she lost her baby when he was just 11 days old.

 

Ariel Matthews pumped 2,370 ounces of milk, which went on to feed three babies.

 

 

Looking forward to going out with my friends. #hair #makeup #purplehair #curlyhair #makeuplover #mac #makeupforever #anistasiabeverlyhills #goingout #fun

“Thanks to my sweet Ronan I was able to bless three babies with milk,” she wrote in an amazing post on Instagram. “After I empty out my freezer, 2,300 of those ounces will have been officially donated. I defiantly feel lucky to have been able to help babies stay healthy, and grow.

 

“Not going to lie, it was a good feeling to be able to do this, and for mothers trusting me enough to use my milk.”

 

Heartbreakingly, this isn’t the first time Ariel has done this. She lost another son, Noah when he was a baby, and at that time donated breast milk too.

 

 

I am officially done pumping. 2,370 ounces total, which is about 18.5 gallons in milk. After I pumped 1000oz I decided to keep going and set another goal, which was to pump my body weight in breast milk. I got the idea from my dad. Well, I succeeded! All those ounces come out to about 148.1 lbs., which is more than I weigh, thankfully. Thanks to my sweet Ronan I was able to bless three babies with milk. After I empty out my freezer, 2,300 of those ounces will have been officially donated. I defiantly feel lucky to have been able to help babies stay healthy, and grow. With my two boys in heaven I have donated a total of 2,810 ounces. I know I donated with Noah as well, but cannot remember the exact amount. I believe it was around another 100oz. Not going to lie, it was a good feeling to be able to do this, and for mothers trusting me enough to use my milk. Oh sweet Ronan how I miss you. There are days where I wish I could relive the NICU days just to see you alive and whole. I know that isn't possible, so I will cherish your 11 days of life in my heart forever. You were such a blessing to carry in my womb, (no matter how much I complained) I will never wish I had not. There are many things I wish, for example sibling bonding, to kiss you, to snuggle, to watch you grow, and learn. Thankfully this isn't forever, and I will see your beautiful face again. #donated #babyboy #love #breastmilk #beauty #rainbowbaby #missed #infantloss #blessed #mommy #boymom

It never ceases to amaze us how people can put others before themselves, even when they’re in such pain. Ariel, you’re an inspiration.
