OSHA has very specific guidelines about the handling of human body fluids,
so this "policy" is probably coming from the health department. In the
hospital, there are specific guidelines regarding the storage and handling
of human milk - too bad each institution seems to have its own different
policy. When one is dealing with an "institution", there are specific
protocols/guidelines/rules that come from a licensing agency. If the
guidelines are not followed, the day care center could be shut down by the
health department. I'm not saying I agree with this, but this is how
things are. I'm sure the specifics of the day care's handling of a
mother's milk could certainly be looked at and modified in such a way that
they remain in compliance with whatever the local regulations are.
