My mother donated milk for prems after she had me full term some 37 years
ago.  She's still really proud of the fact that her supply was able to feed
me and 2 or 3 prems. Same occurred when my brother was born 3 years later.
I have spoken to at least 4 or 6 women in the last 6 mths who also donated
milk for prems when they had large supply.  It came up in conversation when
I mentioned oversupply to women who had babies 60s/early 70s in Australia.
