They also sell "Standardized Human Milk Formulations". The non-preemie
version of this appears to be merely pasteurised donor milk blended to
contain a minimum of 20 Cal/fl oz and approximately 1.2 g of protein per
100 ml. I can't find a price for this online.

Poking around their site, it is difficult to find mention of breastmilk
or breastfeeding in their marketing materials, except in quotes in
bibliographies and similarly oblique references. I find it interesting
that Prolacta is choosing to align their products with formula
nominally, as well as in a business sense.
