No stories but I imagine that if there were to be a difference made by human
milk using unpasteurised might be the milk of most value.

Subject: donor milk to boost toddler immune system?
I'm on the board of the NW Mothers Milk Bank - and we've been working for
several years to develop a donor milk bank here in Portland. But I'm
looking for specific information / references / stories on a specific topic
around donor milk.
Here's the situation: 4 year old - has struggled chronic infections, colds,
etc. and has had MANY repeated rounds of antibiotics. Mom was not able to
breastfeed her due to previous surgeries. As a baby had failure to thrive
due to severe reflux. Many repeated visits to immunologists, allergiest and
ENT. She suffers from a slow to progress immune system and is not
technically "immune compromised".
Latest strategy is to remove her adenoids and culture her sinuses to see if
she has resistances.
Does anyone have stories or specific references to share of donor milk being
used on a toddler/preschooler to boost their immune system? Obviously in a
4 year old this would mean drinking it in a smoothie or something similar.
Thanks for your help!
