One of our recent NICU graduate moms has a baby who nurses one side only at a feeding, so mom pumps the other side - gets about 8-12 ounces per day this way.  She caled wanting the number to a breastmilk bank.  When I got back to her a day or two later, she said she has found someone who wants to use her breastmilk - a friend of hers who has AIDS.  I told her to let me know how his T-cell counts change after he starts drinking the breastmilk.  Have any of you had experience in this area?
