Someone recently alerted me to the new LLLI policy on milk donation and
sharing. http://forums.llli.org/showthread.php?t=100623

 I am really disappointed that an *international* organisation that LLLI
seems to have developed this policy with resource rich contexts as the focus
and not given due weight to the environments within which much of the
world's mothers care for their children ie environments that are effectively
as bad as any emergency conditions (specifically excluded from the policy).
It also lacks a balanced presentation of the risks associated with any
feeding options other than a mother's own milk (direct from the breast) and
presents banked donor milk as a feasible alternative when we know how
valuable and rare and therefore largely unavailable banked donor milk is
(LLLI are not the first to do this but it is still disingenuous). 

 

I'm just very disappointed.
