Hello everyone,
  I received this request from David Newburg who does basic research  
on breast milk
at Mass. General Hospital here in Boston. If you know anyone who  
might be able to
help him out, please contact David directly at the addresses below.

The milk can be frozen and shipped, so it doesn't have to come from  
someone who lives
locally.

Thanks,

Naomi Bar-Yam
