Hi Dany,

Although I'm open to correction on this topic a la the green colostrum, the
other issue is the Strep B.  My 18 day old nephew died of Strep B infection.
 To deprive a Strep B baby of his mother's colostrum antibodies, simply
because of the color of the milk is criminal.  If they are all that worried,
why not do a stat culture?  The problem here is, as I understand it, that the
baby was already exposed to the Strep via the birth (or possibly when the
water broke).  Therefore, he needs *any color* colostrum that his mother
makes.

I'm so tired of the constant assumption that breastmilk is guilty until
proven innocent.

Nancy
