I appreciate all your responses to the breastmilk mixup by the hospital. One
issue that wasnt really addressed was the lab's response to testing the milk.

If this person is correct than how can milk banks test the milk they
receive? And if this lab is wrong I would like to be able to pass on the
info and hopefully resources so they will have the right info.
