What we don't know is whether the women who are donating milk could be
donors to milk banks. Many involved in sharing their milk to a peer are in
locations where there is no milk bank to donate to. Many might also not
qualify because they are outside the donor criteria. Perhaps some of the
milk banking people here on Lactnet might like to comment on whether they
have seen a drop in donations that they feel might be due to peer-to-peer
milk sharing.

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!)
