I am a nursing student at Ivy Tech.  While researching information for my previous post about the use of donor milk in hospitals, I came across some other interesting facts about donoted milk that I was not aware of.  I knew that breast milk was being used to for the health benefits of infants, however, I was not aware of its use for the health benefits of others.  Author Mary Rose Tully, MPH, IBCLC, indicates in the Journal of Human Lactation that donor breast milk is also used occasionally in the treatment of illnesses in older children and adults.  I found on one website http://www.breastfeeding.com that donor breast milk was being used for adults who have undergone liver transplants.  Have you seen donor breast milk being used for older children and adults?  What reasons have you seen it used for in these circumstances and has it proven to be beneficial?

Again, all responses would be appreciated.
Sincerely, 
Laura Herron, ITSN
