Dear Lisa, I am sorry that you are having difficulty with this. I wonder what they want that could be more official than the CDC as stated below: http://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/disease/hiv.htm Are special precautions needed for handling breast milk? No special precautions exist for handling expressed human milk, nor does the milk require special labeling. It is not considered a biohazard. The Universal <http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00000039.htm> Precautions to prevent the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B virus, and other bloodborne pathogens do not apply to human milk. When I was working in a hospital, we were told that breastmilk and medication required separate refrigerators but formula and breastmilk could be stored in the same refrigerator. I wish this level of detail would be applied to other things! I wish you the best. Sincerely, Donna Haddonfield, NJ *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
