This is stated quite clearly on the AAFP position paper page 2 under the
title of "Health Effects".  It can be downloaded at:
<A HREF="http://www.aafp.org/x6633.xml">American Academy of Family Physicians</A>

Moreover,  antedotally when I visited the San Jose Milk bank, the director
related a case study in which a 4 year old with severe seizures was so
medicated she was not very responsive and she was constantly in the hospital
with pneumonia.  With as little of 4 oz of "banked" milk they were able to
significantly reduce her seizure meds and she remained infection free.  When
this was withdrawn she was back in the hospital again.

Also,  even though 5 oz sounds like a little amount it is 2 feedings for a
newborn.  Ask if you have the choice of fast food for every meal or if you
could feed twice a day a healthy meal which would you choose.  Another way to
perceive this is:  she is providing 10-20% of this infants food supply.
Given a little time, more support and less stress she may even be able to
provide 30-40%.   Good luck.  Christine Betzold NP IBCLC MSN
