I agree with everything Jodine said. Many years ago I was told the reason
the WIC program in the US could not pay for Human milk from a milk bank is
because it was "not regulated". Although the HMBANA has regulations,
apparently a government agency has to regulate it for another government
agency to
approve it as a food. Sounds ridiculous to me, as human milk is a food
for
humans. But who knows. If this is a step toward approval, then I believe
we need to do all we can to achieve this goal. This is number one on my
"bucket list" , have the WIC program pay for human milk for human babies.
