>> I screen donors at Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast, just outside of Boston.  We’re under the HMBANA umbrella.  I’d like to add a couple of tweaks - we don’t defer milk for ALL medications.  We have a pretty good list of common medications approved for use in donors that has been put together (and regularly reviewed) by a distinguished committee that includes neonatologists, pharmacists and other practitioners.   
>> 
>> Fenugreek impacts blood sugar levels, which preemies often have trouble regulating.  I agree with you about moms taking galactagogues prophylactically - it’s heartbreaking when they call and they’ve been taking one capsule of fenugreek or cup of lactation tea every couple of days.  It isn’t even close to a therapeutic dose in terms of impacting her supply, but we still can’t take it.  
>> 
>> With regard to bereaved moms, I believe each bank makes its own decision about how to handle milk that can’t be processed.  Folks doing research with breastmilk aren’t readily available at every location, and/or aren’t always in a position to receive more.
