one of our members of allaitement québec gave birth to a stillborn
baby girl at 38 weeks last year.  she had a rituel where every night
she would take the day's pumped milk & go pour it out on the baby's
tombstone while talking to her baby.  *yes* many live babies could
benefit from that milk but she found it *so* healing to do this
symbolic gesture.
