I think that the Prolacta business model and their "consistent formulation"
approach speak the language of hospitals and medical professionals and has
the potential to be wildly successful, which means more babies getting human
milk when their mothers are otherwise unable to provide it, leading to more
people becoming familiar and comfortable with the idea of human milk for
human babies as well as other principles of good health and normal
development, and ultimately a higher social premium on breastfeeding and
mother's milk in general. I wish them well.
I have no financial interest in this company
Dear Friends:
The way of donor milk banking for the past decades has not encouraged
breastfeeding or human milk for all babies nationwide, despite the efforts of
HMBANA and others. Donor milk banking hasn't really recovered from the blow
dealt by the onset of HIV/AIDS.
I also feel encouraged about such a company as PROLACTA, that is trying
a different approach to meet the goals we all have, which is for babies to
receive human milk.
Profit is valued more than health or ecology in the US; if profit has to
be part of more babies getting human milk, so be it. I hope that a side
effect will be to public and professional knowledge; as what we are doing now
is not.
The Birth Center where I work has been approached by PROLACTA. There is
a HMBANA milk bank about 60 miles away. PROLACTA is making it easy for donors
to give milk; the milk bank is a schlepp and requires donors to be more
proactive. All these things matter in today's world.
warmly,
