Hello All,
Thanks Marsha and Tina for your very eye-opening but sad and disappointing, insights   Everything makes total sense to me but I wonder if anyone could address the following?   
  2 questions:
1.  Is it still true that formula has never been FDA approved in the USA in the first place?  Is this outdated information? 
2.  Why aren’t donor milk banks seizing the opportunity to aide support?  The trend for mothers to have a huge “stash” of milk, way beyond what their baby could ever use,  seems like an ideal resource to tap.  Are milk banks limited in their ability to scale-up production?  

  If only the government realized that by not supporting breastfeeding they’re not only hurting babies, but national health in the long run! 

Thanks again for all your feedback.  Lactnet continues to be such a needed resource for our community.  
Take care,
Amy
