Hi!
     I would like to introduce myself.  My name is Sharon Watkins.  I am the
mother of four (three breastfed and one adopted), and am a longtime
breastfeeder (11 l/2 straight years and counting).  I am also a LLL Leader
and a clinical LC student in Encino, California.  I have been enjoyably
lurking here for a couple of months and now find myself asked to make a post
for a colleague with a cranky modem.

    The question is this:  has anyone ever had any experience with pumped
breastmilk failing to freeze in an ordinary, properly-functioning home
freezer?  The mother involved had mastitis, and we wondered if the higher
sodium content of her milk might have had an effect???  I would appreciate
any insight anyone could offer.

     Thanks in advance, and thank you too for such a spirited, committed
ongoing discussion.

P.S.--I followed the discussion a couple of weeks ago about what we ought to
be calling formula.  I have a modest proposal:   Synthetic Infant Nutrition
(it's all in the acronym.)
