cheryl:

   sorry my hand slipped...another piece in hmb is that: " excessive heat
should not be used to thaw milk." "excessive heat creasted by microwaving
milk or by thawing in hot water can cause loss of other substances "

    there was something earlier this week re bm and aids...roberta talked to
the chief of neonatology at the mexican social security medical center and he
said that the the transferance of hiv via bm on your hand during a session of
hand extraction etc is minimal.

            hope this helps, patricia
