Hi all,

A bit late with a reply, and others may have already replied.  My 
response would be to provide the research that demonstrates the harm 
of artificial formula.  Plus the WHO statement that puts donor milk 
above artificial substitutes.

  Karen asks: "I am seeking scientific evidence regarding using donor 
human milk for the term healthy infant. I know there is good research 
for the preterm infant but my physician partners are not in agreement 
that the benefits are the same for the term healthy infant. I am 
aware of the exclusive breastfeeding benefits and the statement in 
the Breastfeeding Task Forces recommendation that we use human milk, 
then donor milk and formula as the last choice. Can anyone assist me?
  Karen Moore, MSN, RNC, IBCLC"

Regard,
Ruth Berkowitz
