MEET THE selfless mum-of-one who is proving that breast really is best by donating more than TWENTY-EIGHT-LITRES of her breast milk to families in need in the space of just three-months after finding out her daughter is a BREAST ONLY BABY and her freezer was overflowing with her milk.

When frozen yoghurt shop worker, Shawna Boyes (25) from Oak Harbour, Washington, USA, fell pregnant with her five-month-old daughter, Delta, last year she always knew she wanted to breastfeed her baby if she was able to after seeing her friends breastfeed their children and witnessing the close bond they had formed through nursing.

Delta was born on October 30, 2018, weighing 7lb 8oz and both mother and daughter took to natural breastfeeding straight away. As well as feeding Delta through her breast, Shawna also started expressing her milk so that she could bottle feed her as well, but Delta refused to take the bottle, preferring to be breastfed instead so Shawna’s freezer was starting to fill up with milk that she didn’t want to be wasted.


After some extensive research into milk donation and finding out that there were so many families out there that were in need of breast milk, selfless Shawna decided to donate her surplus milk. Her first donation was at Christmas last year and she has since donated to families where the mother is unable to produce enough of her own milk and newborn adopted babies.

Since then, Shawna has donated just over 28-litres of her milk and likes to think that someone would step up for her if she was ever unable to produce enough milk for Delta.
