"It bothers me that folks are down on this important company. Nobody knocks
blood banks for charging so much for their essential products; what is the
difference? Blood donors aren't paid either, at least not in the USA."

As a "newbie" to Lactnet and someone who has not worked with donor breastmilk, I was not aware of Prolacta and the Int'l Breastmilk Project. The only thing I can say is that I'm shocked. I do understand both sides - Nikki has a point about blood donations. But, to read in bright pink, that Prolacta just entered into a advertising deal with Abbott Nutritionals, dismayed me! I've made up my mind!
