Hi All,

I've been amused with the suggestions on discharge bags and what to do  
with their contents. I thought I'd share what I've done with mine.  I  
have an almost 14 month old daughter and I also donated nearly 16  
gallons of milk to the Mother's Milk Bank of Ohio.  I've worked for my  
state's health department as an epidemiologist for 5 years, and I have  
a Masters in Public Health.

My bag- I stripped it of all logos and I use it to carry my hygeni-kit  
parts and my pumped milk to and from home.  I still use the lactation  
rooms in my agency's employee health clinic to pump milk for my  
daughter.  Since I make a lot of milk, the large size is just right  
for my ice packs, collection bottles and supplies.

The formula samples- I did an experiment.  I mixed some up and put it  
in a bowl for my two cats.  My cats refused to drink it.  They sniffed  
it for a few seconds then left.  Even they were smart enough to know  
it was inferior!

The literature- I recycled it.

Cheers,

Jessica Lietz, MPH
