corrine said, in part:  I wonder if mothers can have
their own quiet revolution by
giving
away their own milk through some breastfeeding forum?

Question...  If mothers in your circle of influence
decide on their own
to
nurse each others babies or share frozen breastmilk,
do you; -snip- dire warnings and scare tactics, or
give cheerful enthusiastic support?

----------

if you check into some adoptive nursing bb on the web,
you will find women offering to donate their milk to
adoptive mothers trying to (re)lactate for their
babies.  I pump to donate for a friend who had very
little milk twice, just had her baby two days ago- and
each time I put the bag in the freezer I hope she
doesnt' need to use it. (and I just sent her the link
from medscape that was posted) I really hope to be
looking for another recipient for my milk soon- and I
have *gallons* stored in various friends' freezers. I
even looked at Rachel Myr's freezer and thought "oh,
good, here's another freezer for me to store my milk
in!".  Then I realised she lives in Norway.  :-)

I applaud women who are sharing nursing.  I would do
it and might, for the aforementioned friend.  I've
known several who do.

I think the woman in the mother's nature auction has
no idea about the legality.  she is probably trying to
re-coup some money for some reason- she is also
auctioning Enfamil nursettes.
