Borrowing from Katherine Dettwyler:

I imagine a day when we have separate refrigerators for
human milk.  Not because we are worried about a bodily
secretion *touching* something, but so that we can keep
this precious fluid protected under lock and key.  Already,
in Texas, LLL has received calls from people seeking donor
milk for ill family members with CA tumors, post GI
surgery, and HIV.

Speaking of abbreviations, I've stopped using the B for
breast.  WHERE ELSE DOES MILK COME FROM?
Now I use EM for expressed milk, HM for human milk, DM
for donor milk, and ABM for artificial baby milk.

Continuing the crusade
