Lexington Baby Boutique Opens Milk Depot

Jessica Santangelo of Richmond has donated 482 ounces of milk so far to the Indiana Mothers' Milk Bank. She is holding her daughter, Anabella Santangelo.
When the freezer of Jessica Santangelo's refrigerator started to fill up with her expressed breast milk, she decided to buy a standalone freezer. Then that freezer started to fill up. Santangelo's 7-month-old daughter has started eating solid foods, so she doesn't drink as much milk as she once did. But come Thursday, it will become a lot easier for Santangelo and other women to share their milk with other mothers and babies. Mother Nurture, a Lexington baby boutique and breast-feeding resource center, is opening Milk Depot, a drop-off location for donated breast milk.
