So, this mom and 6 other area mothers
> have banded together to provide milk for this baby.


Something like this happened in Edmonton Alberta (where Jodine Chase lives,
perhaps she can comment further)  A dozen moms donated for a baby who had
been breastfed, but mom got an illness that excluded breastfeeding.  The
story was picked up by CTV (national news network).  It ran as a "feel good"
story, about the compassion of friends, but also had to note the "dangers"
of sharing unscreened milk.  I wish they had instead ran this story as an
illustration of the failure of our health system to provide screened, banked
milk for those who need it.
