Just my .02 cents worth.  We have sent donor human milk to transplant
patients both children and adults because of the increased immune system
support.  we have used it before surgery for keeping them as healthy or
increase the nutritional status of the patient and also after surgery.
This baby has a big head start above and beyond this because he has
already been breastfed for a life time. We have also used donor milk for
cancer patients for immune protection.  Why not consider the use of your
own milk for your baby who is getting a transplant a very positive move
and continuing the use of the Aunt's milk as you have been doing all
along.
I don't have any references this is all anecdotal
