It's not that "informal milk sharing" is "bad" . its just that it is
"easier" to do than donating to a milk bank, and so may severely impact the
donations to the milk banks - which in turn will meet with severe
repercussions to the tiny frail sick babies who need that milk the most!
(their survival depends on it!)
I wish that all moms with excess milk would simply FIRST go to a milk bank!
IF they did not qualify to donate, THEN they would receive the "green light"
to donate to other moms via the web.
Can't we all just agree to encourage moms to try to donate FIRST for the
sick little babies who need the milk to survive????
