Your Breast Milk Can Make a Difference…

Did you know that YOUR extra breast milk could help premature, critically-ill and low birth weight babies?

By donating your precious breast milk, you have the unique opportunity to share with those most in need. Donation is safe and simple. Donors will receive blood and DNA testing, a double electric breast pump and all the supplies needed for milk collection and shipping, all free of charge. All donated milk goes exclusivley to nourish hospitialized babies in the NICU.

Just about any nursing mother can donate. If you are in good health and have a good medical history, you too could be a Milkin’ Mama ! We are able to accept milk from all over the United States. There is no minimum donation required and every ounce is appreciated.

Mother to Mother Childbirth Services, co-founded by Noreen Fehr, was inspired by a strong desire to empower, educate and support other mothers as they make that ever-important journey through pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Mother to Mother offers a wide range of services designed to nurture, honour and empower the pregnant woman and her family. These various services will help parents reclaim the spirituality of birth and prepare for a gentle and mindful transition to parenthood.

Noreen began work in the childbirth field in 1997. She has extensive birth training through the Manitoba Association for Childbirth and Family Education (MACFE), as well as the Doulas of North America (DONA) and the Childbirth and Postpartum Professionals Association (CAPPA). She has experience supporting women in many differing life circumstances, and in a variety of birth settings.

Noreen is a certified labour doula (CLD), certified childbirth educator (CCCE) and approved doula trainer through CAPPA. She has trained directly with Pam England, author of Birthing From Within® and is the first certified Birthing From Within® mentor and advisor in Manitoba, as well as the only Happiest Baby on the Block® certified instructor (CHBE) in the province.

Noreen has served on many various boards and committees, including South East Manitoba’s Maternal/Child Team, The College of Midwives of Manitoba (CMM) Education Committee and is a past-chairperson of the Manitoba Assocation for Childbirth and Family Education (MACFE). She is now serving as past-chairperson of MACFE’s Education Committee and the Western Canada Representative for CAPPA Canada.
