my friend wasnts to donate her milk to me
My friend has been stocking up milk for her daughter when she goes back to school but she won't need it for another 6 months and doesn't want it to go to waste so she asked me if I would like it cuz she knows I wasn't able to successfully breastfeed my son. So what am trina ask is would it be weird if I she donates it to me? I don't care but my husband thinks its weird cuz its from someone elsa. Opinions please

Since you know her , I would personally go for it
The reason I'm saying this is the person must be compatible. Why do I say this.
My own child and I weren't compatible. Let me see if I remember this right I'm O+ and her dad is A- she was born OA- ...
What happened was when I breastfeed her her body tried to fight off the stuff that was in my blood that was in the breast milk. This caused her to be jaundice the first month.. then again at 4 months and they said she can become jaundice at anytime during the time I BF her. I still decides to continue BFing her anyway... Which I'm glad I did..
With saying this.. her milk could cause unneeded issues..
Back to your original question I dont think it is weird, but even though it is a close friend I would still be nervous bc you never know what may have happened to that milk or even if it was stored properly... example it may have thawed out and then she refroze it or something, idk I guess I'm just nervous about what my kids are eating and I dont really think there is anything wrong with formula. I would of rather my kids had breast milk but since I could not do that I had no problems giving them formula. However I would be nervous about giving them some one elses breast milk.
I will also talk to his Pedi to see what she thinks also
