In 1982 I donated "Tina's Milk" For Lacy. Because her mother only had one
kidney, and had to be on a fluid restriction, she wasn't able to provide
enough for her highly allergic child.
I was working in an ICU and in a bathroom:-0, using sterile technique I
would hand express about eight and a half ounces of milk. Tina was over a
year at the time and would not drink milk from any other place but the real
source!
My neighbor and fellow LLL member and I would freeze our milk amd when
we had a cooler full we would drive down to the Lawrence Massachusetts
Health Center.
At age 4, Lacy was consuming 400 ounces of human milk a day. and is the
"poster child" for using donor milk today.
Lois Arnold (Healthy Children) knows a lot more about this as she was very
involved in the process
You can Google. Lacy and Donor Human Milk.
