There are risks involved for all. But that's life really and it's clearly up
to individuals to decide what risks they are willing to take and how they
might manage them.
It would be lovely if donor milk were available to all who might need
breastmilk but that is so far from reality that it is ridiculous...and we're
not getting any closer to that happening. And of course removal of the
relational aspect also removes one of the greatest aspects of altruistic
milk sharing- the relationship that can be created between mothers helping
one another. This particular aspect is one that has come through again and
again in stories of wet nursing in emergency situations that have been
shared with me and I don't think it should be underestimated.

We have had some discussion on Eats on Feets on our UK lists.

My main concern is with the volunteer donors and the support they 
need in their endeavours to donate their milk to mothers and babies 
who need it.
