Actually, Carol, the moms I work with typically have a back supply of
their own milk in the freezer. I encourage this...that they "store up"
during times of high supply. I've not had the question of what to
supplement with come up except for one mom who asked if it would be OK
to use the milk of a friend whose baby had died.

Of course I am fully aware that some working moms are using some amount
of ABM. I try not to come down on them too hard for that. My goal is
always to get the baby as much breastmilk as possible for as long as
possible.
