Martha, here is the info you were looking for.

This is from a publication called "Facts for Life."

This document is available online at http://www.unicef.org/ffl/.  Go to the
breastfeeding section, then to statement 4 "Breastfeeding helps to protect
babies and young children against dangerous diseases. Bottle-feeding can
lead to serious illness and death."  Then go to the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th
bulleted points under "supporting statements."
Take Care,

>Hello All,
>In light of recent research showing a strong link between exposure to cow's
>milk protein and Type I diabetes, I am looking to get my hospital's protocol
>for neonatal hypoglycemia changed to include banked donor milk as an option.
>If you look on the Academy of Bfdg Medicine Website, they have a clinical
>protocol on supplementation of the breastfed infant, which states if baby is
>unable to meet its needs by suckling at breast, and mom's pumped milk is not
>sufficient to meet the need, that the next food in line for consideration
>should be banked human milk.  Was I ever excited to find this document!
>
>However, I recall learning that WHO ranks infant feeding as follows:
>1. breastmilk received thru suckling at breast
>2. Mom's own expressed milk, if baby can't latch, or needs additional
>calories
>3. Banked donor milk
>4. Infant formula
>
>Does anybody have the citation for the above?  I searched the WHO site, to
>no avail.
>
>Thanks in advance from
