A 34-year-old mother who lost her baby at birth has been praised for donating 50 pints of breast milk to sick babies.

In her 38th week of pregnancy, Sarah Lampley began bleeding profusely. After undergoing placental abruption, her condition became serious.

She made it through, but her baby did not. Doctors eventually discovered that Sarah’s life was saved because the baby’s position in the womb prevented blood clots from spreading to other parts of her body.

The baby’s three brothers only needed this piece of knowledge to name him a “superhero.”

Sarah is currently helping mothers and sick babies more than three months after the tragic occurrence. The 34-year-old has donated almost 800oz of breast milk to the Mother’s Milk Bank of Alabama in the United States, according to a Metro UK report.

“A few days after delivering my son, I still had to go through postpartum which was really hard for me, but what made me feel worse was the thought of throwing my milk away,” Sarah was quoted.

The milk contributions have already helped mothers who have lost their babies at birth and those who had premature newborns.

“It was really encouraging and kept me going. I’ve met some mums who donated because they didn’t want their babies to be forgotten,” said Sarah.
