Regarding the mom who is fighting the insurance company to get donor
breastmilk for her very needy daughter - has she not considered building up
her *own* milk supply?  If her supply has "run very low", perhaps it can be
re-stimulated. The benefits the baby would receive from having her *own*
mother's (age-appropriate, antibody-specific) milk, and the stress her mom
would unload by *not* needing to fight with the insurance company, would be
worth the time and effort, would it not?
