Please ask the milk banks before assuming what?  Assuming that there
wouldn't be donor milk that fit their requirements?  I didn't assume
anything.  I told her that I thought that there might be donating mothers
who were on restricted diets and that her baby *was* a good example of one
who would benefit from donor milk.

I suggested that she call the milk bank and explain her situation.  I told
her that I was unfamiliar with milk bank protocol for various situations and
they would be the best ones to explain how and if they could provide milk
for her baby.
