Christine writes: "One nurse made the comment that she would never allow her babies to drink milk from another woman! Even the pediatrician gave me a funny look when I told her about human milk banks and how she could write a prescription for a baby in need. She questioned the safety of using donor milk and seemed skeptical of the idea, but she has no problem with these new formulas." I agree with you Christine, I have thought it would be interesting if, here in the US, WIC gave vouchers for donor milk, instead of formula. How many mothers would change their minds about at least trying to breastfeed just based on the idea of another mothers milk going to their baby. And wouldn't it be a great show of support for breastmilk. Funny that some people have no problem giving milk that comes from an animal but are grossed out by the idea of giving milk from another human...
