Dear Friends:
    This fabulous discussion about donor milk leads me  to a question.
    For decades, in the US, milk banks have had a  monopoly on donor milk. 
Now a new company is offering a challenge to that.
    What will HMBANA do?
    I received a lovely post from a HMBANA milk bank  coordinator, telling me 
that the collection process can be done by mail and that  it is working well. 
I am glad to hear that, and it is news to me, as most health  care 
professionals I work with don't know about donor milk and have no idea that  there is a 
local milk bank. Thanks to our local resource guide, there is at  least a 
contact telephone number that I have given to mothers who have wished to  donate 
milk.
     However, now there is a company that is  reaching out to every birth 
center across the nation........being very  proactive.
    Interesting.
    warmly,
