Two days ago, Mi'ann of Babymama and I were chatting about the usability of a milk delivery service within Metro Manila. Mi'ann has been in touch with Candy of Pedala Messengers to set-up a delivery service where the milk recipients need not pick up milk from the donors themselves. Mi'Ann posted this note in Facebook but I am reposting it here for the benefit of those without Facebook access and because Facebook notes tend to be buried under new notes or posts. Great job Babymama!
Update: 15 March 2012
PLEASE READ THIS POST CAREFULLY!
PEDALA is a messenger service. They ARE NOT MILK DONORS NOR ARE THEY A MILK BANK. You have to be able to previously identify a milk donor (who has agreed to donate milk to you, the recipient) and just contact PEDALA to ask them to pick-up the milk and deliver to the recipient. BABYMAMA IS ALSO NOT A MILK DONOR OR A MILK BANK.
Thank you.
===============================

Mi'Ann, this is such a great idea! Moms who truly need the milk because their babies are premature or ill, will certainly be less stressed!
